How to use it
- Drop in your image.
- Check the cut-out against the checkerboard (transparent) background and fix it if needed.
- Download as PNG.
What does a transparent background mean?
In an image with a transparent background, the background pixels aren't white but fully see-through, so the picture can sit on any colour without a white rectangle around it. PNG and WebP support this; JPG does not.
In the preview, the checkerboard pattern shows the transparent area. Your image is never uploaded: the cut-out model downloads once and then runs in your browser. No sign-up, and no watermark on the result.
Photo, graphic or logo?
For photos (people, objects, animals) the default AI model is the right choice. To make a graphic, icon or logo on a plain background transparent, the colour-key method on the logo background remover is more precise, because it removes the background colour pixel by pixel. For a signature on paper, use the signature page.
Remove colour fringe removes the old background colour from the edges, so there's no light halo around the subject on dark surfaces.
Frequently asked questions
Do you upload my photo anywhere?
No. The cut-out model is downloaded into your browser and your own device processes the image. The photo never leaves it.
Is there a watermark or a lower resolution?
No. The download has the same resolution as your original photo, with no watermark.
Why does my PNG show a white background when I open it?
Some image viewers and the Windows preview show transparent areas on white or black. Put the image into a document or web page and the background will be see-through.
