Learn how to use our free online background remover to isolate the main subject (e.g., a person) and customize the background:
- Upload Your Image: Click "Select Image" or drag and drop your image (JPEG, PNG, or WebP, up to 10MB) into the upload area.
- Auto-Detect Subject: Click "Auto-Detect Subject" to let the tool identify the main subject (e.g., a person) and remove the background.
- Adjust Edge Sensitivity: Use the edge sensitivity slider to refine the subject detection. Higher values include more of the image.
- Choose Background Type: Select "Transparent (Checkered)" for a Photoshop-like preview, or "Solid Color" to set a custom background color.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the auto-detect subject feature work?
Our tool uses edge detection to automatically identify the main subject (e.g., a person or object) in your image and removes the surrounding background. It works best with clear subjects against uniform backgrounds. Adjust the edge sensitivity slider to fine-tune the detection for optimal results.
What image formats are supported for background removal?
We support JPEG, PNG, and WebP. PNG and WebP support transparent backgrounds with a checkered pattern, while JPEG requires a solid background.
Can it remove backgrounds from complex images?
This tool is optimized for simple subjects against uniform backgrounds. For complex images (e.g., detailed hair or non-uniform backgrounds), the edge detection may need adjustment, or you might consider an AI-based tool with server processing for better accuracy.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No, all processing is done locally in your browser, ensuring your privacy and security.
What is the maximum file size for background removal?
The maximum file size is 10MB. Compress larger files before uploading to use this tool.
Can I use a custom background image?
Currently, this tool supports transparent and solid color backgrounds. Custom image backgrounds are not yet available but may be added in future updates based on user feedback.
