How to remove an image background
- Choose an image. Select a photo with a clear subject (PNG, JPG or WebP).
- Remove the background. The model loads once and cuts out the subject in your browser.
- Download the PNG. Download the cut-out as a transparent PNG.
About removing image backgrounds
Background removal uses an image-segmentation neural network to separate the foreground subject from everything behind it, then makes the background transparent. Here the whole model runs in your browser with WebAssembly, so unlike most online background removers your photo is never uploaded. The result is a transparent PNG with clean edges, ready to place on a new background, a product page or a presentation. To resize or recolor the cut-out afterwards, use the image resizer or image converter.
Frequently asked questions
- No. The segmentation model runs as WebAssembly in your browser. Your image is processed on your device and never sent to a server.
- It detects the main subject (a person, product or object) and makes everything else transparent. You get back a PNG with a see-through background you can drop onto any color or scene.
- A neural-network model has to load the first time. After that it is cached, so later images are much faster. Larger images also take longer to process.
- Clear subjects with good separation from the background work best — portraits, products on a plain surface, logos. Fine details like wispy hair or transparent objects are the hardest for any automatic remover.
- A PNG with transparency, so it keeps clean edges and the transparent background. You can then place it on any background or convert it.
