AI Background Removal: Clean Cutouts in Seconds

Remove the background from any photo in one click and get a transparent PNG. How it works, which mode to pick, and how to use cutouts for laser, Cricut and shops.

Cutting a subject out of a photo by hand means zooming in and tracing around every strand of hair with a pen tool. It takes minutes on a simple product and much longer on a person or a pet. The AI Background Remover does it in a few seconds: it finds the main subject, keeps it, and makes everything else transparent.

A segmentation model looks at the whole picture and decides, pixel by pixel, what belongs to the subject. It keeps soft edges where they should be soft, such as hair and fur, and hard edges where they should be crisp, such as a product's outline. You get a PNG or WEBP with real transparency at the original resolution.

• Auto works for most pictures.
• Person is tuned for portraits, hair and clothing.
• Product keeps crisp outlines and fine parts like straps and handles.
• Graphic is for logos, illustrations and screenshots with flat colours.

You can also choose what goes behind the subject: transparent, white or black.

• Online shops: consistent, clean product photos on white for Etsy, Shopify and Amazon.
• Laser engraving: an engraving without a busy background is clearer and faster to burn.
• Cricut and print on demand: a transparent PNG for print-then-cut stickers, shirts and mugs.
• Vectorizing: removing the background first gives the Vectorizer one clean subject to trace.
