Download PNGSave it to your device

Drop a photo into the box, choose one from your device, or paste an image from your clipboard. Click Remove Background, wait for the transparent preview, then download the PNG when it is ready.

Get a cleaner cutout

For the best result, choose a photo where the person, product or object is clear and well lit. Strong contrast between the subject and its background usually helps create a cleaner edge.

Why download as PNG?

PNG supports transparency. That means you can place the cutout over another colour, image or design without a solid background showing around it. JPG files do not support transparent backgrounds.
