Background remover

Remove the background, keep every pixel

Upload a photo and get the subject back on a transparent background, at the size you took it rather than a preview-sized copy. People, pets and products, hair and fur included, with a version on white for shop listings.

What you get

Full size, and not a thumbnail

One upload makes both files. You never pick a format before you pay, and neither one is a low-resolution copy with the real one behind a second price.

Both come back at the size of your photo, up to 16 megapixels, more than an A4 print at 300 dpi needs. A larger one is scaled down to that, never cropped.

What it cuts

It finds the subject on its own

No brush, no mask to paint, no edges to trace. It decides what the photo is of and lifts that off whatever is behind it.

People

Portraits, couples, whole families. Hair is the hard part, and it keeps its outline instead of being smoothed into a helmet, against a forest as well as a plain wall.

Pets

Fur, the edge a cheaper cut-out rounds off, and whatever they are lying on: the cushion stays with the dog instead of being cut in half.

Products

Something you are selling, lifted off a kitchen table. The copy on white is the plain background shop listings ask for, at full size.

The cut-out is a starting point too: turn it into a coloring page, or enlarge it to print big.

How it works

One upload, no settings

Nothing to choose before you start, so there is nothing to get wrong.

Upload the photo

JPG, PNG or WebP, straight off a phone. Anything up to 16 megapixels is kept at full size.

Wait a few seconds

There is nothing to set. The subject is found and cut out for you, edges and all.

Download the cut-out

Both files are ready together: transparent (PNG) and on white (JPEG), with the photo you uploaded kept beside them.

FAQ

Before you upload

Is it free?+

Each cut-out is 3 credits. Signing up gives you 10 credits, enough for 3 cut-outs, with no card, and the files you download carry no watermark.

What size is the result?+

The size of your photo, up to 16 megapixels, more than an A4 print at 300 dpi needs. A larger photo is scaled down to that, never cropped, so the cut-out still lines up with the original.

What do I get back?+

Two files from the same run: transparent as PNG, and on white as JPEG. The photo you uploaded is kept beside them.

Does it handle hair and fur?+

Yes: hair keeps its outline and fur stays soft rather than cut into a hard edge. Single whiskers that stick out past a face can be lost. The hard case is an edge that matches what is behind it, like a black dog on a dark sofa, where any remover has to guess.

What if it can't find a subject?+

Then it tells you so rather than handing you an empty file, and the credits go back to your balance. A photo where the subject stands apart from the background works best.

Who can see my photos?+

Only you. Cut-outs are private to your account and never appear in the public catalogue of pages people share.

Can I use the cut-outs commercially?+

Yes: shop listings, product shots and designs you sell, on every plan, including the free one, with no licence to buy. The one condition is that you hold the rights to the photo you started from.

Lift it off the background

The photo you want on a card, a sticker or a shop page. Signing up gives you 10 credits (3 cut-outs) with no card.
