Portrait
Fine hair
Keep soft curls from becoming a hard outline
Loose strands are easier to separate when the face and hair are sharp, evenly lit, and visibly different from the wall behind them.

SEE THE DIFFERENCE
Built for subjects with real edges
A clean product outline is useful. Hair, fur, straps, and small gaps show whether a cutout is genuinely usable.
Portrait
Product
Open spaces
Preserve handles, straps, and small gaps
A useful product cutout keeps the space inside each handle open and follows the shoulder strap instead of closing it into one solid shape.
Pet
Detailed fur
Separate a soft coat from a busy scene
Fur contains hundreds of uneven edge points. A sharp original helps retain that softer boundary without carrying pieces of the garden into the result.
WHAT TO CHECK
Zoom in before you download
A result may look clean at page size and still contain a pale halo or missing detail. Inspect these four areas at full size.
Outer edge
Look for a thin strip of the old background around shoulders, shoes, packaging, or the base of a product.
Interior gaps
Check spaces between arms, bag handles, chair legs, bicycle spokes, and leaves. They should be transparent too.
Soft detail
Hair and fur should not appear cut with scissors. A slightly soft edge is often more natural than an aggressively sharp one.
Contact shadow
Decide whether the old ground shadow belongs in the final image. Product photos often need a new, controlled shadow after removal.
THREE SMALL STEPS
From camera roll to usable cutout
No layers to learn and no selection brush to trace around the whole subject.
Choose the clearest original
Upload the full-size image when possible. Screenshots and images saved repeatedly may have rough pixels around the subject.
Check the difficult areas
Look closely at hair, fingers, handles, spokes, leaves, and transparent objects before downloading.
Pick the file you actually need
Use PNG when the background must remain transparent. Choose a filled background when the destination does not accept transparency.
KNOW THE OUTPUT
What background removal changes — and what it leaves alone
Removing a background changes the pixels around the subject. It does not automatically repair the photograph, enlarge it, or create missing parts.
The area outside the subject
The tool identifies the main subject and turns the surrounding area transparent. Small spaces inside the outline — such as the opening of a handle — should be removed as well.
Image dimensions and subject detail
The canvas normally keeps its width and height. A 1200 × 1200 upload should not become a sharper 2400 × 2400 file simply because the background is gone.
Transparency or a finished background
Download PNG for a reusable cutout. If the next website or form accepts only JPG, add white or another solid color before saving so transparent areas do not turn black.
One practical warning:
Do not delete the original photograph after downloading the cutout. Keep it in case you later need a different crop, a higher-resolution export, or another attempt around a difficult edge.
BEFORE YOU UPLOAD
A better source image saves cleanup later
The tool can separate many difficult subjects, but it cannot restore detail that is missing from the original file.
- Leave room around the subject. Cropped hair, shoes, or product edges cannot be reconstructed reliably.
- Avoid matching colors. A dark jacket against a black wall gives the edge less information.
- Watch motion blur. A sharp photo beats a larger blurry one.

More controlIMAGE HANDLING
Automatic processing clearly disclosed
Know when your image leaves the browser
Choosing automatic removal sends the selected image securely to our background-removal provider for processing. Erase, Restore, preview, and download corrections run in your browser after the result returns. Server processing is not described as“on-device.”
COMMON QUESTIONS
Small details that affect the final file
Open an answer without leaving the tool.
JPG, PNG, and WebP are accepted. Animated images and document files are not supported by this page.
Yes, when you choose PNG. JPG does not store transparency, so transparent areas must be filled with a color.
Small files, motion blur, strong compression, and a background similar to the subject can hide the true boundary.
Yes. The upload area, preview, controls, and downloads are designed to fit mobile screens.
No. It changes the background; it does not recreate missing resolution or repair an out-of-focus subject.
