Remove the Background from an Image

Upload a JPG, PNG or WebP and we automatically cut out the subject, leaving a transparent PNG - no manual tracing needed.

How it works

1

Upload your photo.

2

The subject is detected and cut out automatically.

3

Download the result as a transparent PNG.

How this works

This is a real automatic cutout, not a manual crop: an image-segmentation model looks at the whole photo and separates the main subject from the background on its own. It runs entirely on our server - your image is never sent to a third-party background-removal API.

What it works best on

  • A single clear subject - a person, product, animal or object - reasonably distinct from the background.
  • Product photos for online listings, profile pictures, and portraits.

Where it can struggle

Fine detail like loose hair strands, fur, or a subject that blends closely into the background colour can come out with a slightly rough edge. There is no manual touch-up step in this version - if the cutout is not clean enough, try a photo with more contrast between the subject and the background.

Using the result

The output is a PNG with a transparent background, ready to drop onto a different background, a white product listing, or a slide. If you need it as a JPG instead, use the Image Tools to convert it (a solid background will replace the transparency).

Questions & Answers

Does this send my photo to a third-party service like remove.bg?
No. The cutout runs locally on our own server using an offline image-segmentation model. Your photo is not sent to any third-party background-removal API.
What image formats are supported?
Upload JPG, PNG or WebP. The result is always a PNG, since only PNG can store the transparent background.
Will it work on any photo?
It works best when the subject is reasonably distinct from the background - a product, person, or animal shot with normal framing. Very busy backgrounds or a subject that blends into the background can leave rough edges, especially around fine hair or fur.
Does it change the image dimensions?
No. The width and height stay the same; only the background pixels become transparent.
Is it free, and are my files kept?
Yes, free with no sign-up. Uploaded and processed files are deleted from the server automatically about an hour later.
