How to remove a photo background and save a transparent PNG

Before you start

Use a clear source with the subject completely inside the frame. Fine hair, mesh, glass, and motion blur are harder to separate than an opaque object with a clean outline. A larger source can help the model distinguish those edges, but a larger file cannot fix a subject hidden behind another object.

Step by step

1. Upload the image

   Open the background remover and add one photograph. Complete sign-in if prompted. Choose an image you have permission to process.

2. Run the removal

   Check the allowance or points information shown by the tool, then choose Remove background. You do not need to describe a replacement scene.

3. Inspect the edges

   Look around hair, handles, straps, and gaps between fingers. Use the preview background control in Customize to check against light and dark colors as well as the checkerboard.

4. Download the PNG

   Use the result's download action. Keep the PNG format when placing the file in another app, because converting the cutout to JPEG removes its alpha transparency.

What to check in the result

Check whether every intended part of the subject remains, including pale highlights that resembled the old background. Open the downloaded file in the destination app and place a colored shape behind it. This distinguishes a transparent image from one saved with a white background.

If the result needs another attempt

If fine strands disappear, try a sharper original with better contrast. Reflective and translucent materials may need manual edge refinement in a design editor. Use the background changer to create a new scene around the subject; the remover only separates it and does not generate a replacement backdrop.
