PNG and WebP keep the transparent area. JPEG has no transparency, so it is filled with your background colour, or white.

Frequently asked questions
What people usually want to know before they trust a photo to a web tool.
Is this background remover really free?
Yes. There is no account, no watermark and no export limit. The tool runs entirely in your browser, so there is nothing to meter and nothing to pay for.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. The picture is read, edited and saved on your own device with the canvas API. Nothing is uploaded, so there is no copy to store, log or leak. You can go offline after the page loads and it still works.
How does the automatic removal work?
It samples the colours along the edges of your image, then clears the connected pixels that match that backdrop. It is most reliable against a plain wall, a studio sweep or a solid colour. The tolerance slider controls how much is cleared, and clicking any remaining patch erases it by hand.
What kind of photos work best?
Product shots, headshots, logos and anything shot against a plain or lightly textured backdrop give the cleanest result. Busy scenes and fine hair may need a little manual cleanup with the click-to-erase tool.
Which file formats can I download?
PNG keeps a fully transparent background and suits most uses. WebP is smaller and also supports transparency. JPEG cannot store transparency, so the cleared area is filled with your background colour, or white.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. The layout stacks on small screens and the controls stay reachable. Very large images are limited by your device's memory rather than by the tool, so process one at a time on a phone.
