Remove image background, free.
Choose an image and get a transparent PNG. It runs in your browser, so your image is not uploaded to our server. Works best on photos of people and objects.
How it works
The first time, your browser downloads a small AI model (about 25 MB). After that it works faster. Large images and older phones can be slow, so use an image under 2000 pixels wide.
This tool removes the background and keeps the main subject. To remove text and characters from a thumbnail instead, see our upcoming thumbnail background remover.
Frequently asked questions
Is the background remover free?
Yes. It is free, with no signup and no watermark.
Is my image uploaded to your server?
No. The remover runs in your browser, so your image stays on your device. Only the AI model file is downloaded the first time.
What file do I get?
A transparent PNG at the same size as your image. You can place it on any of our free thumbnail backgrounds.
Which images work best?
Clear photos of people or objects with a simple background. Cartoon and anime images may give rougher edges.
Can it remove text and characters from a thumbnail?
Not yet. This tool removes the background and keeps the main subject. A thumbnail background remover is planned.
Why is it slow the first time?
Your browser downloads the AI model, about 25 MB, the first time. Later runs are faster. Large images and older phones take longer.
