How to remove the background from an image
- Add your logo, signature or scan on a plain background.
- Choose the background color, the tolerance and what to remove.
- Click Remove background and download your transparent PNG.
This tool is made for pictures with a plain background: a signature on white paper, a company stamp, a logo on white or a solid color. It makes every pixel close to the background color transparent and saves the result as a PNG you can place on an invoice, a quote, a PDF or a website. It is not an automatic photo cut-out — on portraits or scenes with busy backgrounds the result won't be good.
“Every pixel of that color” suits signatures and text, because the white inside letters disappears too. “Only the background around the subject” keeps areas of the same color inside the subject — the white inside a logo, for example — and only removes what touches the edges.
For a signature photographed on slightly gray paper, raise the tolerance to 30–40%. If parts of the subject disappear, lower it. “Soft, smooth edges” avoids jagged outlines.
Tip: sign with a black or dark blue pen on white paper in good light. Files are processed in memory and deleted after 30 minutes.
Frequently asked questions
How do I remove the background from an image for free?
Upload the image, click Make transparent and download the PNG. Logos, signatures and drawings on a plain background come out clean; adjust the tolerance if a colored background leaves a halo.
Can I remove the background from a photo of a person?
No. The tool only works on plain backgrounds (white or a single color). Photos with busy scenery need a dedicated cut-out tool.
How do I get my signature as a transparent PNG?
Sign on white paper, photograph it in good light, then use “Every pixel of that color” with a tolerance of 20–40%.
Why did the inside of my logo become transparent?
Choose “Only the background around the subject” so areas of the same color inside the logo are kept.
What format is the result?
Always PNG, the common format that keeps transparency and works in Word, PDFs and websites.
Is it free?
Yes, free with no sign-up, up to 50 images at once.
