Background Remover
Erase a solid background and export a transparent PNG.
Runs 100% in your browser — nothing is uploaded
Remove the background from a photo in your browser and download a transparent PNG. Auto-samples the background colour, with adjustable tolerance and edge smoothing — ideal for product shots, logos, and portraits on simple backgrounds. Everything runs locally; your image is never uploaded.
Frequently asked questions
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. The background removal happens entirely in your browser on a canvas. Nothing is sent to a server, so it's safe for client and product images.
How does it decide what to remove?
It samples the corners to detect the background colour, then makes pixels within your chosen tolerance transparent. You can also click the image to pick the exact colour to remove.
What kind of images work best?
Photos with a fairly solid, even background — product shots, headshots on a plain wall, logos, and graphics. Busy or gradient backgrounds are harder for any colour-based remover.
What format do I get back?
A PNG with a transparent background, which you can drop onto any colour, document, or design.
