Remove the background from a photo

Choose a photo and the tool cuts out the person or object in front. Then pick a white, blue, grey or any colour background, or keep it transparent, and download the result. It works best on a person against a simple background.

Your photo stays on your device. Nothing is uploaded.
Your photo The first time, your browser downloads the cut-out model once (about 16 MB). After that it opens quickly. Photos are reduced to 2000 pixels on the long side.
Background
Fine tuning
If part of the person is missing, move the strength to the left. If bits of the old background remain, move it to the right. A lower softness gives a sharper edge.

How to use it

  1. Choose a photo. A person facing the camera in front of a plain wall gives the best result.
  2. Wait a few seconds while the tool finds the person.
  3. Pick a background colour. Use the two sliders if the edge needs fixing.
  4. Download PNG to keep the transparent background, or JPG for a normal picture with your colour behind.

What to expect

The tool uses a small artificial intelligence model that runs on your phone or computer, so your photo never leaves it. Because the model is small, it is not as precise as paid services. Fine hair, glass and busy backgrounds can leave rough edges, and you may need to adjust the sliders or try another photo.

Passport and visa photos

Some offices accept a plain white or light background that you changed yourself, and some require a photo that has not been edited at all. Check the rules of the office before you apply. To crop to the right size, use the passport photo maker, and for the file size use compress an image to a size.

Frequently asked questions

Is my photo uploaded to a server?

No. The cut-out is made by a model that runs inside your browser on your own device. Only the model itself is downloaded the first time; your photo is never sent anywhere.

Can I make a white background for a passport photo?

Yes: cut out the person, choose white and download the JPG. But some offices do not accept photos that were edited, so check the rules first. Taking the photo in front of a plain white wall is always the safest way.

Why are some edges rough or part of the person missing?

The model is small so that it can run on a phone. It does best on a clear subject in front of a simple background. Try the strength and softness sliders, or a photo with better light and a plainer background.

How do I keep the background transparent?

Choose the transparent circle at the start of the colours and download the PNG. JPG cannot be transparent, so it will have a white background.

Why does it take a while the first time?

Your browser has to download the cut-out model, about 16 MB, once. Later visits use the saved copy.
