Free Background Remover

How do I remove the background from a photo for free?

Drop your photo above. The background is removed in your browser and you get a transparent PNG at your photo's full size — no watermark, no sign-up, and your photo never leaves your device.

  1. Drop a photo above (JPG, PNG, WebP or AVIF).
  2. The background is removed automatically, in your browser, in a few seconds.
  3. Keep it transparent or pick a new background: white, any colour, a blur of the original photo, or an image of your own.
  4. Fix any edge with the Touch up brush, then download a full-size PNG.

White backgrounds for product photos

Online shops and marketplace listings show products on plain white. On a computer, choose “Not a person? Cut out something else”, then Background → Colour → white, and download the full-size photo.

Headshots and profile pictures

Give a portrait a clean background for LinkedIn, a CV or a team page: white, a brand colour, or a soft blur of the original. This works on phones too.

Transparent PNG logos and graphics

Cut a logo, a product or an object out of its background on a computer, and keep it as a transparent PNG for slides, designs and websites.

Made for video

Full size, free

Many background removers give you a small preview for free, often about a quarter of a megapixel (around 625 × 400 pixels), and charge for the full-size download. This one hands you the full-size cutout, because the work happens on your own device.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the background remover really free at full size?▼
Yes. The cutout comes back at your photo's own size, with no watermark and no sign-up. It runs on your device, so it costs us nothing to give it away.
Is my photo uploaded?▼
No. The cutout is made in your browser. Your photo never leaves your device.
Does it work on pets, products and logos?▼
Yes. It finds what is in the photo, people, pets, cars, products and more, and keeps what you choose, on phones too. If it does not recognise something, such as a logo, it keeps what is in the middle; in Touch up, the Magic brush brings back or takes away anything you mark.
Why is the first cutout slower?▼
The first time, your browser downloads the cutout model once (about 26 MB). After that it is stored on your device and does not download again.
Can I use the cutout in a video?▼
Yes. Tap “Send to Video Editor” and the cutout opens in the SnipSound video editor, ready to place over your footage.
How do I make the background of a photo transparent?▼
Drop the photo in and the background is removed automatically; download and you get a PNG with a transparent background, at the photo’s full size. To swap the background instead, choose a colour, a blur of the original, or an image of your own.
How do I put a photo on a white background?▼
Drop the photo in, open Background, choose Colour and pick white, then download. For a product or an object, first choose “Not a person? Cut out something else” on a computer.
Is there a watermark or a size limit?▼
No watermark, ever. On a computer there is no size limit for photos up to 36 megapixels. Phones have less memory, so they are capped at 8 MP on an iPhone and 12 MP on Android.
How well does it handle hair?▼
Well on most portraits, not perfectly on fine flyaway strands. If an edge needs work, the Touch up brush restores or erases it by hand.
Can it remove the background from several photos at once?▼
Not yet - one photo at a time. Each photo takes seconds once the model has loaded.
Is there a free alternative to remove.bg?▼
remove.bg’s standalone website closes on 1 December 2026 and its background removal moves into Canva. This background remover is free at full size, with no account and no watermark, and your photo never leaves your device. It does one photo at a time and has no API. See the full comparison.
