Erase background PNG

Remove the background from a PNG image, even if it currently has a solid backdrop. Choose your file, create a cutout, and save it with transparency.

FROM SOURCE TO CUTOUT

A few details make
all the difference.

Start with the right photo

Start with the original PNG rather than a screenshot. The photo model identifies a subject; it does not simply erase one colour. Already-transparent PNGs do not need another removal pass, which could alter their edges.

Check the important details

Check the exported PNG on a coloured background. A PNG can contain solid pixels as well as transparency, so a white rectangle may still be part of the original image. Inspect thin stems, gaps and fine edges before saving.

Choose the final finish

Review your cutout in the editor. Choose transparent or a solid background, then export PNG or JPG for your next use.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Good to know.

Why does my PNG still have a background?

PNG supports transparency but does not guarantee it. A PNG can have an opaque white or coloured backdrop. Remove that backdrop, choose the transparent finish, and export as PNG. A checkerboard baked into a screenshot is also image content, not real transparency.

What if an edge or detail is missing?

Compare with the original and try a sharper photo with more contrast around the subject. The tool cannot restore parts cropped out of the source image.

Can I use this on my phone?
