Creative Cloud Express is a powerful online tool for customizing image files and creating media templates. It is similar to Photoshop, but there is no download or installation required. Instead, you can use an Adobe account to upload the images you wish to work on.

One of the handiest features of Creative Cloud Express is the option to remove the background from your images. Transparent background images can make your creative projects really stand out. The best part is you will not need any specific skills to get the job done. All you need is a few minutes to follow the six simple steps described below.
