Question 1

How do I make a logo background transparent?

Accepted Answer

Choose Logo as the subject. The plain color around the logo is removed without AI, and you get a PNG with a transparent background. It works on a logo set on white or on one solid color.

Question 2

Why save as PNG rather than JPG?

Accepted Answer

JPG can't store transparency, so a transparent area would turn white. PNG keeps it, along with soft edges such as hair, so the cut-out blends with whatever you put behind it.

Question 3

Can I make a signature transparent?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Photograph or scan the signature on plain white paper, choose Signature, and the paper is removed while the ink stays. Use the PNG on documents and forms.

Question 4

Is the background remover free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can remove the background from images for free, with no account and no watermark added. Each task takes up to 3 JPG or PNG images of up to 6 MB each.

Question 5

How do I get a transparent background?

Accepted Answer

Leave Background set to Transparent. The result is saved as a PNG, which keeps transparency, so you can place the cut-out on any design, slide or web page without a box around it.

Question 6

Can I put a color behind the cut-out?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Under Background, choose Colour, then pick a swatch or any custom color. The result is saved as a JPG with that color filling everything behind the subject.

Question 7

Are my photos uploaded to remove the background?

Accepted Answer

No. The background is removed inside your browser on your own device. The AI model downloads to your browser the first time you use it, and your images never leave your device.

Question 8

What if the cut-out isn't perfect?

Accepted Answer

Choose Fix by hand. Select the area with the pen, or click a color to select similar colors nearby, then choose Erase to remove it or Keep to bring it back. Undo and redo let you try again.
