About this tool

Most background removers upload your photo to a server and charge per image. This one does the whole job on your device. Portrait mode uses an on-device AI segmentation model to find the person in the photo and remove everything else; plain-background mode removes the solid edge colour of product shots, logos and graphics, with a sensitivity slider so you control the cut. The result is a real transparent PNG you can drop onto any colour, design or document.

How to use it

  1. Add your photo — drop a JPG, PNG or WebP image in, or tap to choose one.
  2. Pick the mode — Person / portrait (AI) for people, or Plain background for product shots and graphics on a flat colour.
  3. Remove the background — press the button and wait a few seconds; the first portrait removal downloads the AI model once.
  4. Download the PNG — check the cut-out on the transparency checkerboard, then save your transparent PNG.

What you get

Frequently asked questions

How do I remove the background from a photo for free?
Add your photo above, pick Person / portrait mode for a photo of a person (or Plain background mode for a product shot), press Remove background, then download the transparent PNG. Everything runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded.
Why does the first removal take longer?
The AI model (a few MB) downloads once on your first portrait removal and is then cached by your browser. After that, removals take a few seconds and work on your device.
What photos work best?
Portraits with a clear subject and a background that differs from the person work best in AI mode. For objects, use a photo taken against one plain, even colour and pick Plain background mode, adjusting the sensitivity slider until the cut looks clean.
What format is the result?
A PNG with a transparent background, at up to 1600px on the longest side, ready to place on any colour or design.
