Make a transparent PNG
Background Remover separates a photo’s subject from its surroundings with an on-device model. Export PNG or WebP to keep a transparent background.
Open Background RemoverChoose a clear subject
Open a photo or a batch and let the model load. A distinct outline is easier to separate than glass, fine hair, motion blur or a subject close in color to its background.
Inspect the cutout
Check hair, fingers, handles and gaps inside the object. Compare the edge against light and dark backgrounds when possible. An automatic cutout may lose detail or leave a halo.
Download with transparency
Choose the transparent background and save PNG or WebP. JPG needs a solid background. If the image also needs resizing, keep a transparency-supporting format in the next export.
Check it in the final design
Place the cutout on its intended background and at its intended size. A clean edge at full resolution can look rough after a large reduction. For a thumbnail, check the small preview as well.
Choose the output for the next editor
| Format | Background behavior |
|---|---|
| PNG | Retains transparent pixels and is widely supported by design editors. |
| WebP | Can retain transparency when the receiving editor supports it. |
| JPG | Cannot store transparent pixels. A transparent selection is saved against white. |
White background or checkerboard?
The checkerboard in an editor normally indicates transparency; it should not become part of a downloaded PNG. A viewer may display transparent pixels on white, so a white preview alone does not prove the background was baked in. Place the result over a colored layer in the intended editor to distinguish a transparent cutout from an image with white pixels.
When the cutout loses detail
Start with the Balanced model. Larger models need more memory and time, so test one difficult image before processing a batch. A white fringe, missing hair or a gap inside an object is an edge-quality problem, not an export-extension problem. Try a clearer source or another available model and inspect the same edge again. Merely renaming a JPG to PNG will not remove its white background.
