Choose a complete source 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.
File formats
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.


Prepared example, not a guarantee of your result. Inspect each leaf tip and the outline of the pot. Gaps between overlapping leaves should be checked separately from the outside silhouette. Source photo

YOUR WORKFLOW
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 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.
Open the editor, compare the cutout with the original, and choose a transparent or solid background. Export PNG when you need transparency. Keep your original photo for comparison.
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.
Try a sharper source with more contrast between the subject and its surroundings. Background removal cannot recover parts cropped out of the original, and difficult edges may need another photo or a separate editing tool.
Background removal runs in your browser. The model must load before processing; time depends on your device and the image. This prepared sample is separate from your own photo.
Place the export on the background you intend to use. Inspect it at the final display size as well as enlarged. Keep PNG for transparent areas; a JPG export has a solid background.
