If you are good at Photoshop, you can use it to create this effect. However, it still takes time for your to select tools to click the subject, refine its borderline, and add Layer Effect, etc. But with Cutout.pro, you can save 5 minutes to half an hour depending on your Photoshop skills.

Why so? Well, they use AI algorithms to remove photo background in a second just by drag and drop and the low res result is totally FREE unless you want some big size high resolution photo for printing. I often find low res result already meets my requirement.

What’s amazing is that you can add border to the portrait after it finished cutout and you can change border color however you like.

Canva has background removal tools as well, but unfortunately, it is only for paid users and it does not offer a tool to add border lines to portraits. So I’d suggest that you use Cutout. pro to get the PNG portrait with a transparent background and added a white border. Then upload the result to Canva to create a thumbnail.

Final result is like this:
