Remove Background

About Remove Background

Cut a subject out of a plain background and replace it with any colour or transparency. This tool uses colour-based removal: it detects the background colour (or you pick it by clicking the preview), then removes every matching pixel within a tolerance you control. Honest limit: this is colour-keyed removal, not AI - busy, multi-colour backgrounds cannot be separated cleanly.

How Remove Background works

1. Upload your photo.
2. Click the background on the preview to pick the exact colour to remove - or let auto-detection choose it.
3. Choose the replacement: a colour, a hex code, a swatch, or transparent.
4. Adjust tolerance if the edges take too much or too little, then download.

Features

• Click-to-pick background colour with adjustable tolerance
• Replace with any colour - or transparent PNG output
• "Edges only" option removes just the connected outer region
• Great for product shots, portraits on plain walls, logos and graphics

Tips for best results

• Shoot the subject against the plainest, most evenly lit background you can - the cleaner the input, the cleaner the cutout.
• Start with a low tolerance and raise it gradually until the background disappears without eating into the subject.
• Use the "edges only" option when the subject contains the same colour as the background - it protects interior details.
• Export as PNG whenever you choose a transparent result.

FAQ

Which photos work best?

Subjects against flat, single-colour backgrounds - product photos, passport-style portraits, logos. Busy scenes like streets or gardens need AI-based removal.

How do I keep the transparent background?

Choose Transparent as the replacement and download as PNG - JPG cannot hold transparency.

The edges look rough.

Lower the tolerance and pick the background colour with a click rather than relying on white; shooting on the plainest possible background helps most.
