Remove Image Background
Remove a plain background from an image and download it as a transparent PNG. Click the background colour (or pick it by hand), adjust the tolerance, and the matching pixels are removed — all in your browser.

Colour-based background removal — works best on solid-colour backgrounds. This is not AI segmentation: it removes pixels close to one colour you choose, so photos with busy or multi-colour backgrounds will not come out clean.
Upload an image, then click on its background to pick the colour to remove.
Default is white. Click the image above to pick the exact background colour instead.

How to use
- Upload an image with a plain, solid-colour background — a product photo on white works best.
- Click on the background in the image to pick its exact colour, then adjust tolerance if some background is left behind.
- Click Remove background, check the preview on the checkerboard, then download the transparent PNG.
Frequently asked questions
Why is this colour-based and not AI?
True AI background removal needs a neural-network model of about 40 MB plus a large runtime library, which would make this page very heavy to load. This tool instead removes pixels close to one colour you choose — free, instant and private, but only reliable on solid-colour backgrounds.
What kind of image works best?
A subject on a single flat background: a product on white, a logo on one colour, a drawing on a plain backdrop. Photos with gradients, shadows or busy backgrounds will leave patches behind.
What does tolerance do?
Tolerance sets how close a pixel's colour must be to the chosen background colour to be removed. Too low leaves a halo of background; too high starts eating into the subject. Start at 30 and move it a little at a time.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. Removal happens entirely in your browser with the canvas API. Your image never leaves your device. Use it as a free background remover online — no signup, nothing to install.
