Background Removal

Remove backgrounds while preserving main subjects with perfect edge detail and transparency

Remove backgrounds cleanly while preserving the main subject with perfect edge detail and transparency — then keep it transparent or swap in any background you describe.

How it works

Three steps to your first result

  1. 01

    Upload or describe

    Have an image? Upload it and say how you want it changed. No image? Just describe the picture you want — some modes offer extra settings to tune first.

  2. 02

    Generate

    Click generate and wait a few seconds without refreshing the page. If you leave midway, the finished image still lands in your history.

  3. 03

    Refine and download

    Re-edit the result with a follow-up prompt until you are happy, then download the high-resolution PNG or share it.

Pro tips

Get better results

  • Upload an image with obvious contrast between subject and background, preferably with sharp edges

  • In the prompt, specify required background color, transparency or shadow effects

  • After cutout, you can continue to specify whether to overlay new background or batch export

FAQ

Common questions

Just say it in plain language — "remove the background" — or use this mode directly: upload the photo and the subject is preserved with clean edges. You can also name a replacement background color to swap in.
