About Background remover

Background Remover cuts the subject out of an ordinary photo or keys out a flat background color, then exports a transparent PNG. Tolerance and edge feathering tidy up the outline.

Runs entirely in your browser. Your files never leave your device.

How to use it

1.Pick an image and decide between subject segmentation and keying out a color.
2.Choose a quality mode, or sample the background color and tune tolerance and feathering.
3.Check the edges against the preview backdrop, then download the PNG once the cutout looks clean.

Options

Segmentation copes with ordinary scenes. Color key wants a flat, even backdrop.
Tolerance widens the range of color removed. Feathering softens the edge it leaves.

Limitations

Hair, glass, motion blur, and a subject the same color as the wall behind it all produce ragged masks.
Transparency needs PNG. A JPEG has no alpha channel to put it in.

Common questions

When is color key the better choice?

On a green screen or any flat studio backdrop that is clearly different from the subject. For a normal photo, use segmentation.

Why is there a halo around the subject?

The old background color is blended into the edge pixels. Nudge tolerance and feathering, then check the fine edges at full size.
