Designers spend far too much time wrestling with messy photo backgrounds when they should be iterating on flows and visuals. The Remove BG AI plugin for Figma fixes that: one click, clean cutout. No exporting to another app, no hand-drawn masks—just a transparent subject you can drop into frames, components, or marketing layouts.
In day-to-day product and app design, that speed adds up. You can standardize device shots for App Store images, test hero visuals across dark and light themes, and build consistent onboarding or empty-state illustrations—all without breaking your focus. Because it runs inside Figma, you keep your layers, effects, and auto-layout intact.
Quality is the other win. The plugin handles tricky edges (hair, cables, rounded device corners) surprisingly well, so mockups look polished even at high resolution. Pair the cutout with subtle background blur or a brand gradient and you’ve got production-ready visuals in minutes instead of hours.
Bottom line: Remove BG turns background cleanup into a near-instant step, freeing designers to spend time where it matters—crafting clearer interfaces, sharper storytelling, and faster experiments. It’s a small plugin with big leverage for both product and marketing work.
