Remove Background
Remove the background from images for free with AI — upload a photo of a person, product, pet or object and get a clean cut-out as a transparent PNG in seconds, then keep it transparent or put it on white or any colour. Full resolution, no watermark, no sign-up.
Private by design. Your file travels over an encrypted connection to our conversion server, is processed in memory, and is deleted as soon as the result is sent back. Nothing is stored or logged.
This tool needs AI that’s too large to run in a browser, so your photo is sent over an encrypted connection to our conversion server, processed in memory with the open-source ISNet model, and deleted as soon as the result is returned. Nothing is stored or logged.

How do I remove the background from a photo?
Drop the photo in and click “Remove background”. In a few seconds you get the subject on a transparent background, ready to download as a PNG.
Does it work for products and pets, not just people?
Yes. It uses ISNet, a general-purpose segmentation model, so it cuts out people, products, animals and objects. Fine details like loose hair, fur or glass can be imperfect — check the edges at full size.
Is the result full resolution?
Yes. The cut-out mask is applied to your original image, so the PNG has the same pixel size as your photo (up to 50 megapixels).
Why is my photo uploaded?
Accurate background removal needs an AI model too large to run reliably in a browser, so it runs on our server. The photo is sent over an encrypted connection, processed in memory and deleted immediately — never stored, logged or used for training.
Can I remove a plain white background without uploading?
Yes — for logos and graphics on plain backgrounds, Make Background Transparent works entirely in your browser.
Is it free?
Yes, with no watermark or sign-up. To keep the service fast for everyone there's an hourly limit per visitor.
