How it works

A segmentation model separates the subject from its background, then the background is erased to transparency. It runs on our server rather than in your browser: the model is 168 MB, so running it on your device meant downloading all of it before the tool did anything and then waiting around a minute and a half. On the server the same model — the full-precision one, which is what keeps fine detail like fur and paws clean — takes a few seconds and costs you no download at all. Your image is uploaded to do this and deleted afterwards on the normal retention schedule. Output is PNG or WebP because those keep transparency; a JPEG cannot. You can also put the cut-out straight onto a colour, a gradient or a pattern, which saves cutting out, downloading, and feeding the result to a second tool.

Your privacy

Files are deleted automatically one hour after upload. Nothing is kept, and no account is needed to use this.

Remove the background from an image automatically. An AI segmentation model separates the subject from its background and makes the background transparent — no green screen and no manual cutting out. Results are usually ready in a few seconds.

Automatic AI cutout — no manual tracing

A segmentation model detects the subject and removes the background for you, making it transparent. There is no green screen and no manual cutting out — you just upload a photo with a clear subject and download the cut-out. Subjects that stand out clearly from their background give the cleanest edges; fine detail like loose hair is the hardest for any automatic tool.

Fast, and it keeps transparency

The model runs on our server, which is what keeps this quick — the full-precision model is 168 MB, so running it online meant downloading all of it before anything happened. Your image is uploaded to process it and is deleted automatically afterwards. Download as PNG or WebP to keep the transparent background (JPG would fill it with a solid colour).

How to remove the background from an image

  1. 1Upload a photo with a clear subject.
  2. 2The tool detects the subject and removes the background.
  3. 3Preview the cut-out with a transparent background.
  4. 4Download as PNG or WebP to keep the transparency.

When to use Remove background

  • Product photos on a clean transparent or white background for a store.
  • Cut-out portraits for a profile picture, ID, or design.
  • Placing a subject onto a new background or a graphic.

Tips

  • A subject that stands out clearly from its background gives the cleanest edges. Fine details like loose hair are the hardest for any automatic tool.

Frequently asked questions

Is my image uploaded to remove the background?

Yes. This one runs on our server rather than online, because the model is 168 MB and downloading that to every visitor was slower than uploading the photo. Your image is deleted automatically after processing, on the same retention schedule as every other tool here.

Do I need to trace the subject myself?

No — the subject is detected automatically. You just upload and download.

How do I keep the transparent background?

Download as PNG or WebP, which support transparency. JPG would fill the transparent area with a solid colour.
