Can you add remove background on images within Indesign

Hi Dynamic_Oceane3e4,

Thank you for reaching out. In addition to what our expert suggested, you can remove image backgrounds directly from InDesign using the integrated Adobe Express editing feature. Select your image, right-click, and choose Edit with Adobe Express. In the editor, use Remove Background, click Apply, and choose the appropriate Save as New option to bring the edited image back into your InDesign document. Please check this article, which shows how to use Express to edit images and remove the background, so you can make quick edits in your document depending on your workflow.

Let us know your workflow to assist you better.

Thanks,

I only know the function from Illustrator and it’s not working too well. The current AI image editing implementations in InDesign ruin your color workflow.

If the image has a white background, you can try the automatic clipping path generation.

But in the end you really want Photoshop for this, because it is far superior.
