What it does
This tool cuts the main subject out of a photo and removes everything behind it. It uses an AI model that runs inside your browser, so the photo stays on your device. It is built for photos of people — portraits, selfies and headshots — where it gives the cleanest edges. Other subjects can work, but hair-like or very busy edges may come out rough. The result is a PNG with a transparent background.
About this page
The result is a PNG with a transparent background, ready to place on any colour or design.
How to use it in 3 steps
- Choose a JPG, PNG or WebP photo, or drag it onto the box above. Files up to 30 MB are accepted.
- Wait a few seconds while the model runs. The first time it downloads about 12 MB; after that it is cached and starts instantly.
- Check the preview — the checkerboard shows which areas are transparent — then download the PNG.
What you can use it for
- Profile pictures and avatars with a clean cut-out
- Headshots for LinkedIn or a resume
- Portrait cut-outs to place on your own design
- Stickers, thumbnails and presentation slides
- A first step for ID photos on a plain colour
Frequently asked questions
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. The AI model is downloaded to your browser and runs on your device. Your photo is never sent to our servers.
Is it free? Is there a watermark?
It is free to use, with no sign-up and no watermark on the result.
Does it work on objects, pets or products?
It is tuned for people. Other subjects may work, but edges can be rough, especially fur or thin details.
Why was the first run slower?
The first run downloads the model, about 12 MB. Your browser keeps it, so later runs start without downloading again.
