How to remove the background from an image
Why use our Remove Background tool
Frequently asked questions
How do I remove the background from a photo for free?
Add your image in the box above. The AI detects the subject and removes the background in a few seconds, and you download a PNG with a transparent background. It's free, with no watermark and no sign-up.
How do I make the background white or another colour?
After the cut-out, place the subject on a background and pick white or any colour, or upload a new background image. Download the result, ready for an ID, a shop listing or a profile picture.
Can I fix edges the AI got wrong?
Yes. Use the brush to erase leftover background or restore parts that were removed, and adjust the brush size and tolerance for fine edges like hair.
How do I remove the background from a signature?
Photograph or scan your signature on white paper and add it here. You get a transparent PNG of just the signature, ready to place on documents or in Sign PDF.
Is the result in high resolution?
Yes. The cut-out keeps your photo's resolution up to 6,000 pixels on the longest side, which is plenty for printing and online shops.
Can I blur the background instead of removing it?
Yes. Choose the blur effect to keep the original scene but soften it behind the subject, like a portrait-mode photo. You can also add a soft shadow.
How do I make a product photo with a white background?
Remove the background, place the product on white, and download. Many marketplaces ask for a plain white background on the main image.
How do I remove a background on iPhone or Android?
Open this page in Safari or Chrome, add a photo from your gallery and download the PNG. No app is needed; iPhone HEIC photos are accepted.
Can I remove the background from a video or an animated GIF?
No. The tool works on still images; an animated GIF is treated as a single still frame.
Can I process several images at once?
Without an account you can process one image at a time. With a free account you can add up to 3 images at once (100 MB in total).
What can I do with the transparent image next?
Send it straight to Compress Image to make it smaller, to Watermark Image, or to JPG to PDF to put it in a PDF.
Are my images kept private?
Yes. Images are sent over an encrypted HTTPS connection, processed on our server and deleted automatically within one hour. In Browser mode, the cut-out runs on your own device without uploading.
