Remove Background from Photo
Cut out people from your photos and download a transparent PNG — free, private, all in your browser.
Drop your photo here or click to upload
Works best on photos of people. Processing is 100% local — nothing is uploaded.
Removing the background from a photo used to mean manual masking in a photo editor. This free background remover does it automatically: drop in a photo, and an AI model running in your browser cuts out the person and gives you a clean, transparent PNG.
Because the model runs locally, your photos are never uploaded to a server. Nothing to sign up for, no watermark, no limit on how many images you process.
Why remove a background?
- Profile pictures: put yourself on a clean or branded background.
- Product and shop images: isolate a subject for a white catalogue background.
- Design and presentations: place a person onto a slide, poster or thumbnail.
- Stickers and collages: a transparent PNG drops onto any background.

Everything happens on your device, so private photos stay private.
Getting the best results
Use a clear photo of a person
The model is tuned for people. A well-lit portrait with the subject clearly separated from the background gives the cleanest cutout.
Good contrast helps
If the person's clothing is a very similar colour to the background, edges can be less precise. A little contrast makes a big difference.
Start from a reasonably sized image
You can use large photos, but very high resolutions take a little longer to process. Resize first if you only need a small result.
Frequently asked questions
Is the background remover free?
Yes. It is completely free, with no registration, no watermark and no limits.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. The AI model is downloaded to your browser and runs locally. Your photos never leave your device.
What file do I get?
You get a PNG with a transparent background. PNG keeps transparency, so you can place the cutout over any colour or image.
Does it work for any image?
It is optimised for photos of people and works best on portraits. It is not designed for general object cutouts.
Why does the first run take longer?
The first time you use the tool, your browser downloads the AI model (a few megabytes). After that it is cached and starts instantly.
Which browsers are supported?
Modern browsers such as Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari on desktop and mobile.
