A clear background lets the subject sit on whatever color the next design chooses. This page is about keeping that clear PNG: you lift one photo's subject, the result begins as a transparent PNG, and you download PNG when the open background is the file you need. The default path runs in the browser. One file at a time, up to 25 MB. The engine returns a transparent PNG, which is the master for this job. From there you can export PNG, WebP, or JPG. WebP and JPG are saved at quality 0.92. PNG is the export that keeps the clear areas. Choose it when the next step is a layout, a slide, or a page that will supply its own color behind the subject. Look at the edge before you celebrate. Hair, glasses, a strap, and a soft shadow are the places a cutout shows its character. Zoom in. If a bit of the old room is still clinging to a sleeve, the original photo is still on your device and you can try the cut again. A plainer backdrop in the source picture usually gives the outline an easier path, and a busy pattern behind the subject asks for a slower look at the result. JPG is a different decision. A JPEG cannot carry a clear background. If you export JPG while the backdrop is still transparent, the empty area receives a solid fill, so the file becomes a finished picture on a solid field. That is useful when you suddenly need a flat image. It is the wrong export when the clear PNG was the point. WebP can keep transparency, at quality 0.92, when every destination you care about accepts WebP. For a handoff that simply asked for a transparent PNG, stay with PNG. Download, drop the file onto a colored slide or a page, and confirm the subject still reads. The clear areas should show the new color, not the room from the original photo. Keep the camera file until you are sure the outline is the one you want to reuse.

A PNG that stays clear

The cutout starts as a transparent PNG. Exporting PNG keeps that open background. WebP and JPG are available at quality 0.92, and JPG fills the empty area so the JPEG is a complete picture. The choice of format is the choice of whether the clear background survives.

How it works

  1. 1

    Add one photo

    Up to 25 MB. The default path runs in the browser and returns an open PNG of the subject.

  2. 2

    Check the outline

    Look at hair, straps, and small gaps. The clear areas should be the background you are ready to replace.

  3. 3

    Download PNG to keep it clear

    PNG preserves the open background. WebP and JPG save with quality 0.92, and JPG receives a solid fill.

Use cases

A subject for a new layout

Keep the PNG clear so a designer can drop the person or the object onto a color chosen later.

A logo or a product that must float

One file, the clear cutout, and a careful look at the edge before it goes into the brand kit.

A flat JPEG you need at the last minute

Export JPG and the empty area is filled, using quality 0.92, when a solid picture is suddenly the request.

Problems we solve

The JPEG has a background again

JPG from a transparent backdrop gets a solid fill. Download PNG if the clear areas are what you needed to keep.

A fuzzy outline

Hair and mesh are demanding. Start from a larger, cleaner photo, within the 25 MB limit, and inspect the edge up close.

A file that will not open

Stay within 25 MB and add one picture. The default run is in this tab, and the result begins as the clear cutout.

Trust, speed & privacy

The clear file is the starting result

Output begins as an open file. You choose PNG again on export when that clear background should remain.

Handled on your device by default

One photo, within 25 MB, cut out on your device. You download when the outline looks right.
