What is the Background Remover?
Upload a photo and this tool automatically detects the subject and removes everything behind it, giving you a transparent PNG cutout in seconds. It runs entirely client-side, so there's no waiting on a server queue, and processed images are kept in a local history strip so you can revisit recent results.
Once a background is removed you can download it as a transparent PNG or replace the background with any solid colour using the built-in colour picker, which is handy for ID photos, product shots or profile pictures that need a specific background colour.
3 steps to your result

What you get
