How To Remove Image Background in Kixxl Editor?

Image Background Detection & Removal Feature

In Kixxl builder (editor), Image Background detection & removal is a feature that automatically detects and remove the unwanted background from an uploaded image, leaving only the main artwork, logo, or design visible. It ensures that your design looks clean and professional when placed on a gang sheet.

How This Feature Works?

When you upload a design or image to Kixxl, the app automatically checks whether the image contains a background. If a background is detected, a pop-up appears immediately with two options:

  • Fix Now – Remove the background before adding the image to your sheet.
  • Skip – Continue using the image without making any changes.


If you select
Fix Now, you will be redirected to the Image Customization window. Here, click the Background Removal option to automatically remove the image background.

Once you’re satisfied with the result, save the edited version and add it to your gang sheet.
