How to remove a background
- Choose a JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC or HEIF image up to 25 MB and 40 megapixels.
- Select Remove background. On first use, the page downloads its processing tools.
- Inspect the cutout preview, then download the transparent PNG.
Start with a clear subject
A portrait or product against a simple background is a useful starting point. Fine hair, glass, mesh and subjects that blend into their surroundings can lose detail. This version has no manual brush for correcting the mask.
Output and limits
The result is a transparent PNG with a longest side of up to 2,048 pixels. This is not an original-resolution cutout service for large photographs. Supported inputs are JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC and HEIF, up to 25 MB and 40 megapixels. HEIC conversion uses the first still image.
Why the first run takes longer
Unpin downloads about 16 MB of background-removal processing assets on first use. It then runs the model in your browser. Your photo is not sent to a background-removal server. Larger sources and limited device memory can slow or interrupt processing.
Check the result where you will use it
Place the downloaded PNG against a contrasting background in your editor to inspect its edges. If part of the subject is missing, use an editor with manual masking. Saving a cutout as JPG adds a solid background because JPG cannot store transparency.
Before you start
Can I remove a background from a video?
No. This tool handles still images. Removing noise from a video’s audio is a different tool.
Can I download the full original resolution?
The current maximum output dimension is 2,048 pixels. Pro does not currently promise a higher resolution.
Is it free?
Single-file background removal is free. At launch, it will share a daily allowance with video and audio tools: 5 successful tasks without an account or 10 with a free account. Allowances are not active yet. Pro will remove the daily cap and add batches and ZIP downloads.
