About Background Remover
Cut out people, products, pets and logos in seconds. Our open-source AI model finds the subject and makes the background transparent, which is perfect for product listings, profile pictures, stickers and presentations. You can also replace it with a plain white or custom colour.
Frequently asked questions
How does the background remover work?
An AI segmentation model (U²-Net, open source) detects the main subject and erases everything else. It works best on clear subjects such as people, products and animals.
Can I get a white background instead of transparent?
Yes. Choose 'White' or a custom colour before you start; otherwise you get a transparent PNG.
What format is the result?
A PNG file, because PNG supports transparency.
Is Background Remover free?
Yes – completely free, with no account, no daily limit and no watermark.
Are my files safe?
Files are sent over an encrypted HTTPS connection, processed automatically by our servers, never shared and permanently deleted after 1 hour. Nobody looks at your documents.
Do I need to install software or sign up?
No. It works in any browser on Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android. No account needed.
Is there a watermark?
Never. Your converted files are clean, with no watermark or branding.
