✓ Quick answer

How do I make text in an image transparent?

Upload the image with the text and the AI removes the background around the letters, including inside letters like o and a. Download a transparent PNG to overlay anywhere.

How to remove background from text images

  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.

Inside the letters

The holes inside letters (like in 'o', 'e' and 'a') are background too. Our remover clears enclosed gaps so the text works on any colour.

Uses

Hand-lettered quotes for social posts, signatures for documents, text overlays for videos and wedding stationery.
