✓ Quick answer
Selection tool → Automatic, tap the background and slide to adjust the threshold.
Three-finger swipe → Cut, or invert and use a layer mask for non-destructive edits.
Untick the Background colour layer in the Layers panel.
Actions → Share → PNG keeps transparency.
Automatic selection works well on flat colours. For photos with hair or busy backgrounds, it takes a lot of manual cleanup.
Remove the background here in Safari on your iPad, save the PNG to Photos, then insert it into Procreate (Actions → Add → Insert a photo).
