How to remove the background from an image

  1. Select or drop up to 3 JPG or PNG images, up to 6 MB each.

  2. Choose what the image shows: a person, an object, a logo or a signature.

  3. Click Remove background, then download a transparent PNG or a JPG on a color.

Change the background of a photo

Change the background of a photo in a few clicks. The subject is cut out automatically, and you choose what goes behind it: a solid color from the swatches, any custom color, or another photo of your own as the new background. It is handy for profile pictures, product shots, invitations and fun edits that put you somewhere new.

Choose what the image shows for a cleaner cut-out, then fix any rough edges by hand before you save. Both your photo and the new background stay in your browser and are never uploaded. For the most natural result, pick a background photo with light and angle similar to your subject's.
