How to remove the background from an image
Upload your image with the button above, drop it anywhere on this page, or paste it with Ctrl+V. You can also paste a link to an image that is already online.
The background is removed automatically. The subject (a person, a product, an animal, a car) stays, edges and hair included, and everything else becomes transparent.
Download the free preview straight away, or the full-resolution PNG for one credit. Nothing to install, and it works the same on a phone, a tablet or a computer.
Which images work best
Photos with a clear main subject give the cleanest cut-outs: portraits, product shots, pets, vehicles and objects on a table. The background can be busy; the subject just needs to stand out.
Group photos work too, as long as the people are the obvious subject. Very small subjects in a wide landscape, or images where the subject blends into the background, give weaker results, so check the free preview before you spend a credit.
