How to remove the background from a photo
- Upload a photo. Click Select photo or drop a JPG, PNG, WEBP or HEIC picture of a person, product, animal or object.
- Wait a few seconds. An AI model finds the subject and removes everything behind it.
- Choose a background and download. Keep it transparent (PNG) or choose white or another colour (JPG), then download.
Popular uses for Remove Background
- Put product photos on the pure white background Amazon asks for.
- Make a professional LinkedIn profile photo on a plain colour.
- Cut out a logo, a pet or a person for a sticker, a meme or a Canva design.
White backgrounds for online shops
Amazon requires a pure white background for main product images, and eBay, Etsy, Shopify and Facebook Marketplace listings look cleaner with one. Photograph the product in good light, remove the background here, choose White and download a JPG. Then use the image resizer if the marketplace asks for a size such as 1000 x 1000 pixels.
Profile pictures, passport photos and stickers
Cut yourself out for a professional LinkedIn photo on a plain colour, make a sticker or a meme from a transparent PNG, or put a portrait on a white background before you size it with the passport photo maker. Some offices do not accept edited photos, so check the rules before you use one for an official document.
Getting the best result
- Use a photo where the subject is in focus and clearly separated from the background.
- Busy backgrounds work, but very thin details such as flyaway hair may be softened.
- The cut-out keeps the full resolution of your photo (up to 4000 pixels on the long side).
Frequently asked questions
