Many Photo Editing Softwares have the tool to cut out images, but for many people, the software of Photoshop is still very difficult. It does not matter. Today this article will teach you two methods to cut out pictures in PowerPoint. It’s very simple and useful.

1.Remove Background

Actually, PowerPoint comes with the function of Remove Background, we only need to select the picture.then click [Format] and [Remove Background]. Now, you can follow the four options below to start to edit your picture.
