Why remove a background?

A transparent cut-out lets you drop a subject onto any colour, scene or product page. It is essential for online stores, presentations and clean headshots.

Step-by-step: remove a background

1. Open the Remove Background tool and add your image.
2. Wait a few seconds while the AI detects and cuts out the subject.
3. Choose a transparent, solid-colour or blurred background.
4. Download your finished image as a PNG.

Photos with a clear subject and decent contrast give the sharpest edges. For ID and passport photos, remove the background and add a plain colour. Want the subject to pop instead of disappear? Try Blur Background to keep the scene but soften it.
