badloUpload a photo, and a machine-learning model finds the main subject and removes everything behind it. You get a PNG with a transparent background.
How to use the Remove Background
- Upload your photo.
- Press the button and wait a moment.
- Download your transparent PNG.
What to expect
Automatic
No tracing or brushes needed. The subject is detected for you.
Best with a clear subject
One person or product against a clear background works best. Fine hair and busy scenes are harder.
Ready to use
Transparent PNGs fit product photos, profile pictures and designs.
Tips for a cleaner cut-out
- Use a photo where the subject is in sharp focus.
- Avoid backgrounds in the same color as the subject.
- Leave some space around the subject, and don't let it run off the edge.

If the edges look rough
| Problem | Try this |
|---|---|
| Part of the subject vanished | Use a photo with a plainer, more contrasting background |
| Some background stayed | Crop closer to the subject with Crop Image first |
| Hair looks chunky | Use a higher-resolution photo. Fine hair is the hardest part |
| The picture looks black or white | Your viewer is showing the transparency in that color, and the file itself is fine |
Frequently asked questions
How do I remove a background for free?
Upload the photo and press the button. A transparent PNG downloads, with no sign-up or watermark.
Why is it a PNG?
JPG can't store transparency. PNG can, so your subject sits cleanly on anything.
What if it cuts too much?
Try a photo with more contrast between the subject and the background.
What's the size limit?
Up to 24 megapixels.
Are my photos kept?
Your files are only used for this job and are deleted from the server afterwards.
Can I add a new background?
Not here yet. Place the PNG over any background in your design app.
