Background Remover
Take the background off a photo of a person. It runs in your own browser — your photo is never uploaded.
Getting the photo engine ready…
A one-time download of about 16 MB. Your browser keeps it, so next time is instant.
Removing the background…
This takes a second on a computer and a few seconds on a phone.
New background
“None” gives a PNG with a see-through background. A colour gives a JPG.
Your photo stays with you
The background is removed on your own phone or computer. The photo is never sent to us or to anyone else, and nothing is saved on our servers.
For the cleanest cut-out
- Stand in front of a plain wall, a step away from it.
- Face a window or a light. Avoid a bright light behind you.
- One person in the picture, head and shoulders in view.
Made for photos of people. Objects, pets and logos will not cut out cleanly.
