About Background Remover
Background Remover uses an AI segmentation model to isolate the subject of any photo and produce a clean transparent-PNG cutout. Upload an image and get a ready-to-use cutout in seconds, then optionally drop it onto a solid color, gradient, or your own background.
The tool handles people, products, pets, food, cars, plants — any single-subject photo. Complex hair, fur, and semi-transparent edges are handled by the AI, not by a color-key trick, so results hold up on tricky edges that manual selection tools struggle with.
Currently in private beta. Background Remover is limited to admin accounts while we tune the pipeline. Public rollout is coming soon.
How to use Background Remover
Upload an image
Drop or click to browse. PNG, JPG, and WebP formats up to 20 MB.
Wait for the cutout
Takes a couple of seconds. The result appears next to the original with a before/after slider.

Keep it transparent or choose one of the color/gradient presets. Or use a custom color.
Download
PNG preserves transparency. JPG bakes in whichever background you chose.
Key Features
AI-quality cutout
Modern semantic segmentation understands what the subject is, not just where color changes. Hair, fur, translucent glass, and complex outlines look natural.
Before/after slider
Drag to compare the cutout with the original at any point — great for checking hair edges and fine detail.
Background presets + custom color
Ten one-click options — transparent, white, black, brand blue, red, green, sunset and sky gradients — plus a full color picker.
PNG + JPG export
PNG preserves transparency for use in design tools, presentations, or stacking on other backgrounds. JPG composites your chosen background in — smaller file, ready to post.
Copy to clipboard
Copy the cutout straight to your clipboard for pasting into Slack, docs, or design apps.
