Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the free online background remover.
Choose a photo with a plain background, then raise the tolerance slider until the backdrop
disappears, and download the PNG.
No. The corner colours are sampled and the pixels are cleared on a local canvas, so your
photo is never uploaded.
The tool averages small patches from all four corners, then deletes any pixel close to one of
those colours within the tolerance.
Raise the tolerance for busy backgrounds and lower it for clean studio shots, so only the
background colour is removed.
A narrow feather band gives partly transparent pixels at the edge, which hides the jagged rim
that a hard cut leaves behind.
It works best on studio, product and portrait shots with a plain wall or seamless paper
backdrop behind the subject.
No. Background removal is a colour operation, so a background that shares colours with the
subject will also be partly removed.
