How can I cut out my cat from a photo?

Upload the picture and the AI isolates your cat in a few seconds, keeping whiskers and fur detail. Download it as a transparent PNG or place it on any background.

How to remove background from cat photos

  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.

Whiskers, ears and fluffy tails

Thin whiskers are only a few pixels wide, and long-haired cats blend into blankets and sofas. Our model looks at the whole scene and the fine detail at the same time, so it keeps whiskers rather than trimming them off.

Popular uses

Turn your cat into a sticker or emoji, make a framed portrait on a solid colour, design a mug or T-shirt, or tidy up photos for a cattery or rescue listing.
