When I first started creating online lessons, one of my biggest frustrations wasn’t the content itself — it was the visuals. Every slide seemed to need “just a little cleanup.” A cluttered classroom in the background, a messy whiteboard, or random text that distracted from the actual material. I’d open up Photoshop or some editor, spend 10–15 minutes on a single picture, and still feel like the result looked amateur. Multiply that by dozens of slides, and I was spending more time cleaning images than designing lessons.
One day, while searching for a quick fix, I stumbled on a free web tool called EzRemove. I didn’t expect much, but it turned out to be exactly what I needed: I could drop in an image, and a few seconds later I had a clean, transparent version ready to drop straight into my slides.
The real difference wasn’t just speed — though saving hours every week has been huge. It was how the lessons looked afterward. Suddenly the key ideas stood out, students weren’t distracted by clutter, and I felt more confident about the overall quality of my course design. It’s amazing how much cleaner visuals can change the way information comes across.
Now, instead of dreading the image editing part, I can focus on the teaching itself. Honestly, that shift has been as valuable for me as it has been for my students.
