Can I put a white or colored background behind the cutout?

Yes. Choose White or Custom before you run it and the subject is placed on that solid color. The file is still a PNG, but it has no transparent areas, which suits marketplaces and forms that reject transparency.

What happens if my image already has a transparent background?

The server detects real transparency and keeps it instead of cutting the image a second time. If you also picked White or Custom, that color is placed behind the existing transparent areas.

Why do logos come out cleaner than hair or fur?

When almost the whole border of the image is one smooth backdrop, the server removes that backdrop by color, which keeps flat edges crisp. Photos with a busy surround go through the segmentation model, and soft, thin detail is harder for it.

Is my image sent to another company's service?

No. Segmentation runs on our own servers with a bundled model, and there is no call to an outside image service. The upload is still sent to us for processing, and the result is kept for a limited time so you can download it.

About Background Remover

A product shot on a cluttered table, a headshot for a profile page and a logo sitting on a white box all need the subject separated from what is behind it. Upload the image, choose Transparent, White or a custom color, and the server returns a PNG at the original resolution. Photos go through a U²-Net segmentation model, while images on a plain backdrop are cut out by color, which handles logos and flat graphics more cleanly.

Features

Transparent, white or custom-color background
U²-Net segmentation for photos, run on our own servers
Color keying for logos and graphics on a plain backdrop
Result returned at the original image resolution
Images that already have transparency are recognized and kept

Limitations

Using it may need credits or a paid plan, and downloading the PNG needs a free account.
Fine detail such as hair or fur, and low-contrast edges, are the most likely to show imperfections, and there is no brush to touch up the cutout afterwards.
Uploads can be up to 60 MB; photos longer than 3,200 px on a side are cut out at a reduced working size and scaled back, so edges can be slightly softer.
The output is always a PNG, even when you choose a white or custom background.

How it works

Upload a JPG, PNG or WebP image with a clear subject.
Choose the background: Transparent, White or Custom, and pick the color if you choose Custom.
Select Remove background and wait while the server separates the subject.
Compare the cutout with the original in the preview.
Download the PNG, or choose another image.
