Good to know
The AI looks for the main subject in your photo, whether that's a person, a product or a pet, and cuts it out along the edges, including hair and fine details. You get the subject on a transparent background, which you can save as a PNG or place on white or any colour you like.
Photos with a clear subject and some contrast against the background work best. Busy scenes, several people overlapping or very small subjects can confuse it, so zoom in on the result before you use it for anything important.
The first time you use the tool, the AI model is saved to your device, so your photos never need to be uploaded. That one-time download can take a minute on a slow connection; after that it starts straight away. Free downloads are saved at up to 1500 pixels.
Frequently asked questions
How do I remove the background from a photo?
Drop the photo in. The subject is found automatically and the background is removed; then download it transparent, on white or on a colour you pick.
How do I make a background transparent?
Choose Transparent and download. You get a PNG, because JPG can't store transparency.
Can I put my photo on a white background?
Yes. After the background is removed, choose White, or any colour, and download.
Does it work for products, not just people?
Yes. It finds the main subject in the photo, so products, pets and objects work as well as portraits.
Why does the first use take longer?
The first time, the AI model (about 45 to 110 MB, depending on your device) is saved to your device. After that it starts straight away.
Is the background remover free?
Yes. Remove backgrounds for free, saved at up to 1,500 pixels.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. The AI model runs on your device and your photo is processed there. It's never uploaded.
