How to remove a background

Cut out the subject of a photo in one click. An AI model finds people, animals, products and objects and makes the background transparent, or puts a new colour behind them. It all happens on your device.

  1. Choose one or more photos.
  2. Pick a new background (none, white or a colour) and the file type.
  3. Click Remove background and download the cut-out pictures.

Frequently asked questions

What does it work best on?

Photos with a clear subject: a person, a pet, a product or an object in front of a background. Fine hair and see-through things can be harder.

Can I fix the edges?

Yes. Open the result in the Image Editor to crop, add a new background, or combine it with other pictures.

Why does it take a while?

The AI runs on your own device. With a modern graphics card (WebGPU, in Chrome and Edge) it takes seconds; without one, the processor does the work, which can take up to a minute.

Are my files uploaded?

No. Everything happens in your own browser, on your own device. Your files are never sent to a server, so nobody else can see or keep them.

Is it really free?

Yes. There are no fees, no sign-up, no watermarks added by us and no daily limits. Your device does the work, which is why it can stay free.
