How to remove a background
- Drop a photo onto the box, choose a file or paste a screenshot with Ctrl+V. iPhone HEIC photos work too.
- Wait a few seconds while the AI separates the subject from the background. Drag the slider to compare the result with the original.
- Choose the new background: transparent, white, black, any colour or a blurred version of the original. Tick Crop to the subject to remove empty space around it.
- Download a PNG (keeps transparency) or a JPG (smaller, for a solid background).
What it works well for
- Product photos for online shops and marketplaces that ask for a pure white background.
- Portraits and profile pictures, including a white background for ID and passport photos.
- Stickers, logos and graphics that need a transparent PNG for slides, videos or print-on-demand.
- Pets, cars and objects you want to place on a new background in a design tool.
Full resolution, small upload
Many free background removers return a small preview and charge for the full-size file. Here the AI computes the cut-out mask from a copy of your photo reduced to 1600 pixels, and your browser then applies that mask to the original in full resolution. A 12-megapixel phone photo therefore comes back as a 12-megapixel PNG, and the upload stays small and fast.
Tips for the cleanest result
- A clear contrast between subject and background helps most. A dark jacket in front of a dark wall is the hardest case.
- Fine hair and fur are kept with soft edges. On a new solid colour, a light colour close to the old background looks most natural.
- The Blur option creates a portrait-mode look: the subject stays sharp in front of a softened copy of the original scene.
- Transparent areas only survive as PNG. JPG has no transparency, so a transparent result is saved on white.
Free limit and privacy
Everyone can remove the background from 25 images per day, without an account and without a watermark. The counter resets at midnight UTC. The reduced copy sent to our own server is processed in memory and discarded immediately; it is never saved, never used to train AI and never shared. The AI model is IS-Net (DIS), which runs on our own hardware.
Frequently asked questions
Is the background remover really free?
Yes. You can process 25 images per day for free, in full resolution, with no account and no watermark. The counter resets at midnight UTC.
How do I make the background of a photo white?
Drop the photo, then choose White as the background and download it as JPG or PNG. That is the usual format for product photos and many ID photos.
Do I get a transparent PNG?
Yes. Transparent is the default background. Download as PNG to keep transparency; JPG cannot store it and uses white instead.
Is the result in full resolution?
Yes. The AI mask is applied in your browser to the original image, so the download has the same pixel size as your photo, up to about 16 megapixels.
What happens to my photo?
A reduced copy is sent over an encrypted connection to our own server, processed in memory and discarded right away. Nothing is stored or used for AI training.
Why are some edges not perfect?
Low contrast between subject and background, motion blur or very fine details such as loose hair can confuse the AI. A photo with a plain, contrasting background gives the cleanest edges.
