✓ Quick answer

Can AI remove the background from a photo with several people?

Yes. Our model keeps every object in the foreground, so all the people in a group photo stay in the cut-out. Upload the photo, check the result with the compare button, and download.

How to remove background from group 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.

Everyone stays in

Some removers only keep the single most prominent person. We use a model that keeps the whole foreground — every person, and the bench or sofa they sit on if it's in front of the background.

Great for

Team pages, event posters, family photo books, reunion invitations and school yearbooks.

  • Team and staff photos
