Free online background remover: transparent PNG in seconds

Our free background remover lets you remove the background from an image online without installing software or creating an account. Upload a photo, and the tool finds the background, removes it and gives you a clean cut-out you can save as a transparent PNG. It is ideal for product photos, profile pictures, logos, signatures, social media graphics and marketplace listings.

Remove a background, then refine the edges

After the automatic removal, fine-tune the result with simple controls. Adjust the tolerance to keep more or less of your subject, shift and soften the edges, and reduce colour fringes with defringe. Use the Erase and Restore brushes to correct small mistakes, and switch to colour-key mode to remove a single colour, such as a green screen, from the whole picture.

Change or replace the background colour

Need a white background for an online shop or a coloured background for a poster? Pick White, Black or a custom colour and download your picture as a JPG or PNG. You can also keep it transparent to place the subject on your own designs.

Private by design

Because the background is removed in your browser, your pictures are never uploaded to a server. That keeps personal and client photos private and gives you instant results.

Frequently asked questions

Is the background remover really free?

Yes. It is free to use, needs no sign-up, adds no watermark and has no daily limit. You can use the results for personal and commercial projects.

Is my image uploaded to a server?

No. Everything happens inside your browser, so your photo never leaves your device. This makes the tool private and fast, even on large images.

Which image formats can I use?

You can upload JPG, PNG and WebP files up to 50 MB, plus other formats your browser can open. You can download the result as a transparent PNG or WebP, or as a JPG with a background colour.

How do I get a transparent PNG?

Upload your image, wait for the background to be removed, choose the PNG format with the Transparent background option and press Download.

Why did part of my subject disappear?

This happens when the subject has colours close to the background. Lower the tolerance, then paint the missing area back with the Restore brush. If background remains, raise the tolerance or pick the background colour with the colour picker.

Can I put a white background behind my subject?

Yes. Choose White, Black or any custom colour in the Background options, then download as JPG or PNG. This is useful for product listings and ID photos.

Does it use AI?

No. The tool analyses the colours along the edges of your picture to find and remove the background, then cleans the edges. It works best with plain or clearly contrasting backgrounds. For busy backgrounds, finish the cut-out with the brushes.
