Remove background from an image
An object segmentation model runs in your browser and separates a person, product, or animal from the background. The photo is never sent anywhere. Fine tune the result with a brush, then keep the background transparent, colour it, or blur it. For plain backgrounds there is also a quick mode without the model.

How to use: Remove background
Choose a photo
It works best when the subject stands out clearly from the background.
Remove the background

Refine and download
Erase or restore parts with the brush, pick a new background, and download the PNG.
Frequently asked questions
Is my photo uploaded?
No. The model is downloaded from this site once, about 19 MB together with the program that runs it, and works on your device. The photo never leaves your browser.
When is Plain background mode better?
For logos, products on a white surface, and signatures. Click the background colour in the image and the tool removes every similar colour connected to the edge.
Why are hair edges not perfect?
The small model runs quickly on any device but separates fine detail such as hair less precisely. Move the threshold and edge softness or fix parts with the brush.
How do I get a white background for documents?
Choose New background: colour and keep it white. For a passport picture, then use the Passport photo maker.
