How to use

Open your image — drop or pick a JPG/PNG. It never leaves your device.

About this tool

This tool removes a photo's background without uploading anything. Click any part of the background: the tool flood-fills from that point, erasing connected pixels whose color stays within your chosen tolerance. Add or restore detail with the restore brush if an edge bites too much. Honest note: automatic AI cutouts of hair, fur and busy scenes need heavy machine-learning models — those run on servers at other sites (which is exactly the upload-privacy problem). For solid and simple backgrounds — products, documents, logos, ID photos — this local approach is fast, free and private.

FAQ

How do I remove a background without uploading my photo?

You are looking at it: this tool processes the image entirely in your browser with canvas pixels. There is no upload step at all — you can watch the network tab stay silent.

Which photos work best?

Solid or smooth backgrounds (white, studio, sky) with a clear edge to the subject: product photos, logos, documents, ID-style pictures. Busy outdoor scenes and flyaway hair need AI models that run on servers.

What does tolerance do?

Tolerance is how different a pixel's color may be from your clicked color and still count as background. Low tolerance erases only near-identical pixels; high tolerance eats gradients and shadows too.

Is the output really transparent?

Yes — you download a PNG with an alpha channel. JPG does not support transparency, which is why the download is PNG even for JPG inputs.

Why is the result better than an AI remover for my product shot?

On a clean studio background, a color-based cutout follows the true edge pixel-by-pixel — no AI hallucinated margins, no subscription watermark.

Does it work on phone?

Yes. Tap instead of click, pinch-zoom the canvas, and the download saves straight to your photos or downloads folder.
