Remove backgrounds with ChatGPT 5 using Photoroom

ChatGPT has become surprisingly good at working with images. You can ask it to create artwork in different styles, modify existing photos, or even analyze what's happening in a picture. Since ChatGPT 5 launched, these visual capabilities have gotten even sharper. The AI understands image requests better and delivers more accurate results.

But here's a question that some users are considering (yourself included, since you are here in this blog): can ChatGPT remove backgrounds from images? 

The short answer: Yes, you can remove backgrounds with ChatGPT. It works through specialized tools like Photoroom that integrate directly into your chat. You upload your photo, ChatGPT handles the workflow, while Photoroom handles the background removal.

This article will show you exactly how to remove backgrounds using the Photoroom GPT inside ChatGPT, plus why this method might be perfect for your workflow.

Can ChatGPT actually remove backgrounds?

On its own, ChatGPT isn’t designed for precise image editing. It can analyze images, describe what it sees, and even create new artwork from scratch. But when it comes to precise editing tasks like background removal? That's not in its wheelhouse, even with the latest GPT-5.

Thankfully, it has integration abilities that help it connect to specialized tools that are already excellent at specific tasks. Photoroom has spent years perfecting background removal technology, and GPT allows you to plug it into your conversations. ChatGPT handles the conversation and file management, while Photoroom's dedicated technology handles the background removal. 

To remove backgrounds with ChatGPT, you will need to use a dedicated tool like Photoroom’s Background Remover GPT.

There's no need to open dedicated photo editing software, figure out selection tools, or learn complex interfaces. It's instant results with professional quality.

Other reasons include:

• You want to test background removal without downloading new software or creating multiple accounts

• You find traditional photo editing tools intimidating and prefer conversational interfaces

Use ChatGPT for background removal when you want professional results without switching apps. It's the fastest way to get clean, transparent backgrounds while staying in your existing workflow. For quick, one-off edits, nothing beats the convenience of removing backgrounds with ChatGPT.

Other ways to remove backgrounds with AI

While removing backgrounds with ChatGPT is perfect for quick, conversational edits, there are other ways to tackle background removal depending on your needs.

• Photoroom web app: Head directly to Photoroom's Remove Background tool for a dedicated editing experience. You get the same professional-quality results with additional editing tools. It also includes a Batch Mode feature so you can edit multiple product photos at once rather than going through ChatGPT one image at a time. You can also download Photoroom from the App Store or Google Play for editing on your mobile device.

• Photo editing software with AI: A lot of photo editors like Photoshop and Canva now include AI-powered features that can automatically detect and remove backgrounds. But these features are usually part of an extensive plan that isn’t cost-effective if you only need background removal. 

ChatGPT offers the most convenient way to remove backgrounds when you're already working conversationally. For everything else, Photoroom's full suite of AI tools handles any background removal challenge you can throw at it.
