    AI removes the background

    Our segmentation model finds the subject and cuts it out with soft, hair-level edges in a few seconds.

  3. 3

    Download or edit

    Download a transparent PNG, or swap in a solid colour, a photo or a blurred background first.

Edge precision

Hair, fur and fine edges — kept.

A large segmentation model predicts soft edges instead of a hard outline. Then we clean every semi-transparent pixel, so the old background never leaves a coloured halo on your new design.

  • Soft alpha matting, not a scissors cut
  • Colour-spill removal on every edge
  • Full-resolution refinement up to 12 MP

New background

Change the background in one tap.

Keep it transparent, or switch to a colour, a gradient, your own photo, or a blurred version of the original for a portrait-mode look. Add a soft shadow so it never looks pasted on.
