Background remover

Remove the background from a photo automatically, then fix any mistakes with the Erase and Restore brush. Download a transparent PNG, or replace the background with white or blue for ID photos. The AI runs on your device, so your photo is never uploaded.

How to use the Background Remover tool

  1. Select a photo.
  2. Wait a few seconds while the subject is detected.
  3. Use the Erase and Restore brush to fix any mistakes, choose a background and download.

Frequently asked questions

Which photos work best?

People and products with a clear outline against a different coloured background. Fine hair and similar colours are harder.

Can I make a passport photo?

Yes. Choose a white or light blue background, download, then use the Passport Photo Maker.

How do I fix parts it got wrong?

Pick Erase to paint away leftover background, or Restore to bring back parts of the subject that were removed. Use the zoom buttons for small areas, and Undo if you slip.

Why does it take time the first time?

A small AI model (about 4.5 MB) downloads once. After that it starts much faster.
