Yes now you can use Windows 11 Paint app to remove background from any image. The operation is similar to its counterpart Photoshop by Adobe, but Microsoft's background removal tool is completely free.

- Paste or insert any image into the app canvas.
- Click the “remove background” button on the toolbar.

It is also possible to remove the background from a limited area that you have specified.
Microsoft Paint, also known as MS Paint, is part of the desktop with operating systems since 1985.
Microsoft announced at some point that it will remove Paint (after the release of Windows 10 Creators Update) and encouraged them users to use Paint 3D.
But that changed with the release of Windows 11.
Microsoft abandoned Paint 3D and now seems to be focusing on the Paint app when it noticed the limited user adoption of the Paint 3D app.
