Headshots

Remove the background from a headshot.

A usable headshot is the person, not the office plant. Upload the photo. Keep the face. Place them on a clean color or a simple studio tone.

For profiles that have to look consistent

LinkedIn, company directories, speaker pages, and school staff lists look better when every headshot sits on the same field. Cut the originals, then drop each PNG onto one shared background.

Keep it looking like a photograph

The goal is a natural edge around hair and shoulders, not a sticker. A well-lit phone portrait is enough. You do not need a studio rental for an internal team page.

After you download

Place the PNG on a soft gray, a brand color, or white. Crop to the ratio the platform wants. Official ID photos still have their own size and color rules.

Straight answers.

Can I use a casual phone selfie?+

Yes if the face is sharp and not crushed against a busy wall. Even light beats a harsh overhead lamp.

Will glasses cause problems?+

Clear frames usually stay. Strong reflections on the lenses can confuse the edge. Tilt the face slightly if that happens.

Is this for passport photos?+

It can remove the room behind you. You still have to match the official background color and crop.

How do I remove a background?+

Upload a PNG or JPG on this page. Processing starts automatically. Download the transparent PNG when it appears.

What do free previews include?+

Guests can try a couple of images. Those results are resized so you can see the cut before signing in.

Is the paid file higher quality?+

Yes. Lite and Pro keep full resolution. Free previews are limited so the first look stays fast.

Do I need an account?+

Not for a first try. Sign in if you want more images, full resolution, and files saved in My Images.

How long do you keep my files?+

Free files expire after 3 days. Lite keeps them 30 days. Pro keeps them 60 days.
