Free Background Remover

Remove the background from photos of people: profile pictures, headshots, selfies and group photos. Get a transparent PNG, a clean color or a blurred background. It all happens in your browser, so your photo is never uploaded.

How to use it

  1. Choose a photo with one or more people in it. On a phone you can pick from your gallery or take one.
  2. The background is removed automatically in a few seconds.
  3. Keep it transparent, or pick a color or blur for the new background.
  4. Download your image. Transparent results save as PNG; color and blur save as high-quality JPG.

Frequently asked questions

How do I make a transparent background PNG?

Choose a photo of a person, keep “Transparent” selected and click Download PNG. The background is removed and saved as see-through, ready for slides, documents or design apps.

Does it work on products, pets or objects?

Not yet. This tool is trained to find people, so it works best on portraits, selfies, headshots and group photos. Objects, animals and products may not be detected.

Is my photo uploaded?

No. Background removal runs entirely in your browser, so your photo never leaves your device.

Can I put a new background behind the person?

Yes. Pick a solid color, such as white for ID or LinkedIn photos, or blur the original background for a professional portrait look.

Will there be a watermark?

No. Downloads are full quality with no watermark and no sign-up, always free.
