How to erase background from any image

  1. 01

    Upload your image

    Drop a JPG, PNG, WebP or HEIC file into the uploader, paste it with Ctrl+V, or paste an image URL.

  2. 02

    AI removes the background

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

  3. 03

    Download or edit

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

Erasing by hand vs. AI erasing

A manual eraser tool asks you to paint over everything you want gone, zoom in on the tricky bits, and undo when you slip. It's slow, and soft edges like hair end up either chopped or fuzzy. The AI predicts the whole mask at once, including how transparent each edge pixel should be — something that's almost impossible to paint by hand.
