Remove Background from Image

Remove the background from a photo automatically, then download a transparent PNG or place it on a solid colour.

Your files stay on your device. Nothing is uploaded.

How to use Background Remover

  1. Drop your photo in the box, or click to choose it.
  2. Wait while the background is removed on your device. The first photo takes longer, because the tool has to download first.
  3. Pick transparent or a colour, then download your PNG.

Background Remover questions

Is my photo uploaded to a server?

No. An AI model downloads to your browser and runs on your own device, so your photo never leaves it.

Which photos work best?

Photos with one clear subject, such as a person, product or pet, work best, especially when the subject stands out from the background. Fine details like loose hair, and subjects close in colour to the background, may not be cut perfectly.

Why is the first image slower?

The first time, your browser downloads about 60 MB of AI files, so use Wi-Fi if you can. This can take a few minutes on a slow connection. Your browser normally keeps these files, so later photos are much quicker.

What size is the downloaded image?

It keeps the size of your photo, up to 3000 pixels on the longest side. Larger photos are scaled down to that size so they work on all devices.

Can I use the results for my business?

Yes. There is no sign-up and no watermark, and you can use your results however you like, as long as you have the rights to the original photo.
