Remove it automatically
- Open Remove Background.
- Choose Transparent, or a color to put behind the subject, such as white for a product photo.
- Drop in your photo. The first time, the AI model downloads once; after that each photo takes a few seconds.
- Download the PNG (transparent) or JPG (colored background).
The model runs in your browser, so the photo is never uploaded.
Photos that give the cleanest result
- One clear subject, in focus, filling a good part of the frame.
- A background that differs in color or brightness from the subject.
- Even light, without the subject blending into shadows.
Fine hair, fur, glass and see-through fabric are the hardest parts for any background remover. Check the edges at full size before using the result.
White backgrounds for online shops
Many marketplaces ask for product photos on pure white. Choose White before dropping in the photos, then use Resize Image if the shop needs a set size, such as 1000 × 1000 pixels.
Keeping the file small
Transparent PNGs of photos are large. If the image is going on a web page, Compress PNG usually makes it much smaller while keeping the transparency.
Common problems
- A light or dark fringe around the subject. Pixels at the edge mix the subject with the old background. Place the cut-out on a background of similar brightness to the original, or choose a background color instead of transparent.
- Background is left between arms or inside handles. Enclosed gaps are harder to detect than the outline. Zoom in and check them before using the image.
- Part of the subject disappeared. An object held at arm's length, or something the same color as the background, can be taken for background. A photo with more contrast behind the subject avoids it.
- The PNG is very large. A full-size transparent photo can be 10 MB or more. Resize it to the size you need before compressing.
