How to photo background remover

  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.

Photos of pets

Fur is one of the hardest things to cut out — it's fine, soft and often catches the light. The model keeps the fluffy outline instead of shaving it into a neat silhouette, which is what makes a pet cut-out look real on a sticker, a mug or a birthday card.

Photos of people

Choose the Person subject for portraits and group photos. It's tuned for faces, hair, hands and clothing, and keeps everyone in the foreground together. Add a soft colour behind them and you've got a profile picture that looks studio-shot.
