Making a background transparent
The person or object is found automatically and everything behind it is removed, then the result is saved as a PNG, the common format that keeps transparency. JPG can't, so a JPG would come out with a solid background.
Clear outlines give the cleanest result. Fine hair, fur and glass are the hardest parts, so zoom in on the preview edges before you download.
Free results are saved at up to 1,500 pixels on the longest side. The AI model is downloaded the first time and kept on your device, so your photo is never uploaded.
Frequently asked questions
Why does my transparent image show a black or white background?
Some apps preview transparency as black or white. Place the PNG over a coloured background, in a document or design app, to see that it's really transparent.
Can I make a JPG transparent?
Yes. Drop in the JPG and download the result: it's saved as a PNG, because JPG can't store transparency.
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.
