Remove the background from a photo

Cut out the subject in one click and download a transparent PNG.

Open the tool, it's free

Free · no account · no watermark · your files stay on your device

Clipabay finds the subject of your photo, whether that’s a person, a product, a pet or a car, and removes everything else. The cut-out is a mask, not a delete, so you can paint back a bit of hair or take away a stray edge with the brush.

You get the full resolution with no watermark. Put the cut-out on a colour, a gradient or a new photo, or blur the original background instead of removing it.

What you get

How to remove the background from a photo

  1. Open your photo.
  2. Click Remove background.
  3. Download a PNG with Transparent background ticked.

Tip: Photos with a clear subject and some contrast against the background cut out best. For a product shot, a plain wall behind it helps a lot.

Questions

Are my photos uploaded?

No. Everything happens inside your browser, so your photos stay on your own computer or phone.

Why does the first one take longer?

The AI model downloads once (about 170 MB) and is then kept by your browser, so the next photos are quick.

Is it really free?

Yes. There is no account, no trial, no watermark and no limit on how many files you do. Clipabay is kept going by people who choose to buy us a coffee.
