Better than a “magic wand”
Removing a white background by colour (a magic wand or “remove white” filter) also removes white parts of the subject, like a white shirt, teeth or the highlights on a product, and leaves a grey halo around the edges.
This tool finds the subject itself instead of a colour, so white details inside the subject are kept and the edge is clean, including on off-white, grey and slightly shadowed backgrounds.
Common uses
Product photos taken on white paper or a light box, scanned images, screenshots, logos saved as JPG and studio portraits on a white wall.
Questions
How do I remove a white background from a picture?
Upload it above. The white background is removed automatically and you download a transparent PNG.
Will white parts of my subject disappear too?
No. The subject is detected as a whole, so a white shirt or white text inside a logo is kept.
Does it work on grey or off-white backgrounds?
Yes. It doesn’t depend on the exact colour, so off-white, grey and light shadows are removed as well.
