How to remove a background
Upload an image
Drop in a JPG, PNG or WebP image — up to 20 MB, processed entirely in your browser.
Pick the background color
Click a background pixel in the preview, or set the color manually with the color picker.
Tune tolerance and feather
Raise tolerance to catch color variation in the backdrop; add a little feather to soften edges.
Download the transparent PNG
Re-run to refine, then download the result with a transparent background.
Key features
Click-to-pick color selection
Click any background pixel to sample its exact color — no need to guess hex values.
Adjustable tolerance
1–45% color-match range catches gradients and compression noise in real backdrops.
Edge feathering
Optional 0–5px soft edge blends cutouts naturally over new backgrounds.
Transparent PNG output
Results save as PNG with a true alpha channel, ready for compositing.
Fully private processing
Removal runs in your browser with the Canvas API — your image never leaves your device.
Supported formats
- Input: JPG/JPEG, PNG or WebP, one file up to 20 MB
- Output: PNG image with a transparent background
Privacy and security
Limitations
- Designed for solid, uniform backgrounds (white, green screen, studio backdrops). Busy, textured, or multi-color backgrounds will not cut cleanly.
- Subjects with colors similar to the background will lose pixels — this is a fundamental limitation of color-based removal.
- Hair, fur, and semi-transparent objects cannot be isolated precisely without AI segmentation.
- Animated GIFs and TIFF are not supported. For complex backgrounds, consider using an AI-powered tool.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are my images uploaded anywhere?
No — background removal runs entirely in your browser using the Canvas API. Nothing is ever uploaded to a server.
What kind of backgrounds work best?
Solid, uniform backdrops such as white studio backgrounds or green screens. For uneven backgrounds, click multiple areas to sample several colors — they'll be averaged for better detection. Busy, textured or multi-color backgrounds will not cut cleanly with color matching.
What does the tolerance slider do?
It controls how close a pixel's color must be to the picked background color to become transparent. Raise it for noisy or gradient backdrops; lower it when the subject's colors are close to the background.
Why chroma-key removal instead of AI segmentation?
In-browser AI segmentation needs a multi-megabyte model download, seconds of processing per image, and still struggles with hair and edges. Chroma-key removal is instant, works offline, and is honest about its limits: solid backgrounds only.
Which formats are supported?
JPG/JPEG, PNG and WebP up to 20MB. Results always download as transparent PNG regardless of the input format.
How do I get the cleanest cutout?
Click several background pixels to find the most representative color, then start at low tolerance and raise it until the backdrop is gone without eating into the subject. Add 1–2px of feather for natural edges.
