Transparent PNG
Make a transparent PNG from a photo.
A transparent PNG keeps the subject and throws the backdrop away. That is the file designers, sellers, and social posts actually use.
Drop an image here
PNG or JPG, up to 20MB. Free images are resized to 800px before they upload.
Paste from clipboard, or tap to choose from camera / gallery.

Why PNG, not JPG
JPG cannot hold transparency. If you need to drop a product or a person onto a new color, you need a PNG with an alpha channel. That is what this page produces.
Where people use it
Marketplaces, pitch decks, stickers, YouTube thumbnails, and print-on-demand mockups. One cutout can move across all of those without another photoshoot.
How to get a clean file
Upload a sharp JPG or PNG. Wait for the cut. Download. If you only need a preview, the free result is enough to judge the edge. Paid plans keep full resolution for print and large listings.

Straight answers.
Will the PNG work in Canva or Figma?+
Yes. Import the file and the backdrop stays empty so your canvas shows through.
Can I get a JPG instead?+
The cut is delivered as PNG so transparency is kept. You can flatten it to JPG later if you need a smaller file with a filled background.
Is the PNG web-ready?+
Yes. Use it on a site, a listing, or a story. Compress later only if a platform has a tight size cap.
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.
