Remove the background from an image
Drop your photo below and press Remove background. It finds the person or main subject and gives you a transparent PNG, or a plain white, blue or red background. It runs in your browser, so the photo is never uploaded.

How it works
- Drop your photo into the box.
- Pick transparent or a plain colour, and the edge strength.
- Press Remove background and download the PNG.
Best results
- Use a clear photo where the person or object is in focus.
- Plain or evenly lit backgrounds work best.
- Try 'Gentle edge' for hair and 'Strong' for a cleaner outline.

Questions people ask
Is the first run slow?
The cut-out model downloads once the first time you use it, then it is fast. It is cached by your browser.
Does it work for objects, not only people?
It is tuned for people. For products it falls back to a colour-based method that works best on plain backgrounds.
Is my image uploaded?
No. The tool runs in your browser, so the picture never leaves your device.
Is it free?
Yes, with no signup and no watermark.
