Remove the background from a photo in a few seconds. It works on people, pets and products, keeps fine edges like hair, and gives you a transparent PNG at full size. You can also swap in a plain colour, a gradient, a blurred version of the original or another photo. Everything runs on your own device, so your photo is never uploaded.
Your images never leave your device. No sign-up, no watermark.
How to remove a background
- Add a photo. The subject is found and cut out automatically.
- Keep it transparent, or pick a new background: Colour, Blur, Gradient or Your photo.
- If a spot is wrong, turn on Touch up and brush over it: Erase removes leftovers, Restore brings back parts that were cut off.
- Download at full size as PNG, JPG or WebP.
What you can make
- Transparent PNG: for logos, stickers, presentations and designs where the subject sits on top of something else.
- White background: for product listings on Amazon, eBay, Etsy and Shopify, and for ID and application photos.
- Blurred background: a portrait-mode look that keeps the original scene but makes the subject stand out.
- New scene: put the subject on a gradient or on any photo of your own.
Questions
Is my photo uploaded?
No. The cut-out is done in your browser. The first time you use the tool it downloads a small cut-out model from a public library server, then reuses it; your photo itself is never sent anywhere.
Is it really free? Is there a watermark?
It’s free with no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on how many photos you do. The download is full size, not a small preview.
What photos work best?
Photos with a clear main subject: a person, a group, a pet or a product. Busy scenes can leave in things the subject is touching, like a chair or sofa; brush over them with Erase. The Edges slider makes the cut-out tighter or looser.
Why does a JPG have a white background?
JPG can’t store transparency, so a transparent cut-out saved as JPG is placed on white. Choose PNG or WebP to keep the background transparent.
What size is the downloaded image?
The same size as your photo, up to 4000 pixels on the long side (3000 on iPhone and iPad, to keep the browser from running out of memory).
