removebg type background remover plug-in native to Paint.net?

[honeybadger8]

I know this has been discussed in older threads but i'm curious now in q4 2023 if there is a plugin that removes background faster than using the magic wand tool?

 

I know there is a plug-in to use the remove.bg website but I need this without any online access on a airgapped system so I can download the plugin and move it to that network.

 

What plug-in exists that makes this easier than magic wand tool?

 

thanks

Sorry, there isn't one.

 

You could try using the Windows Photos program.  I don't believe it requires an online service, but I have not confirmed yet.

thanks for the prompt reply. I was hoping there is some new plug-in's in 2023 but I guess not.

The MS Paint app has a remove background capability too. It does not require online access to do this.

This is only for Win 11. Win 10 still has the legacy Paint so it won't work

Well you can upgrade to Windows 11 then. Or don't. Either way you've got your answer.

Why would I upgrade to Win 11 just to have a newer version of paint that may or may not work well.

 

Yes i agree, there is no new plugin for Paint.net in Q4 2023 similar to remove.bg with AI type filtering

Correct.

 

I'm sure you'll get a lot of support in the Plugin Developers section if you want to code one up.

I have produced a video tutorial on how you can use remove.bg and Paint.Net here:

You could also use G'Mic and a tool within the software to extract your object from the background. G'Mic is a plug-in that you can use. I have used the tool myself with varying success.

Finally, you can use Paint 3D - which are installed for free on Windows - and watch this video by Kevin Stratvert to see how you can use Paint 3D with Paint.NET. I have used his method with varying success.

 

 

With that being said, my preferred technique is the first method described in the video tutorial of using remove.bg and Paint.NET.
