Bulk Create and Generate - Removing backgrounds

Hi ​@reidmmorton, this is probably late for you, but it may help anyone who finds this thread with the same question.

Full disclosure: I’m the developer of Bulk Designer, an Adobe Express add-on that does data merge from a CSV like Bulk Create, and it can remove backgrounds in bulk.

How it works:

1. Connect your CSV and map the image column to the photo in your template.
2. Open Enhance Images. Every image from your CSV is listed there.
3. Tick just the images that need it, or select all, then choose Background Removal. You can keep the background transparent or fill it with a colour.
4. Click Apply to Selected. It processes the whole set in one run, and you can compare each result against the original.
5. Click Create Designs, and every design uses its cleaned-up photo.

So you don’t need to press remove background on each design one by one.

Here’s a short video of a batch run: 

There’s a free trial if you’d like to test it on your own CSV. Happy to help if you get stuck.

Hi ​@reidmmorton 

Welcome to the community! The Bulk Create & Generate workflow in Adobe Express doesn’t apply “Remove background” automatically to images you map via the spreadsheet. If an image needs background removal, you’d currently need to use “Remove background” after the variation is generated.
