How to make an image background transparent

Keep the background on None
The AI removes the background on your device. The checkerboard shows the transparent areas; drag the slider to compare with the original, and use Touch up to fix any spot.

Download PNG or WebP
PNG is lossless and works everywhere; WebP keeps the transparency in a smaller file. Both are saved at full resolution, named like photo-no-bg.png.
PNG, WebP or JPG: which keeps the transparency?
PNG
Lossless, with full transparency. The safest choice for logos, stickers, slides and anything you'll edit again.
WebP
Also keeps the transparency, in a smaller file. Good for websites and online shops.
JPG
Can't store transparency, so it's saved on white (or on the background you pick). Use it only when you want a solid background.
What people make transparent
Portraits and profile pictures
Cut yourself out for a CV, a team page, a YouTube thumbnail or a social post.
Product photos
A transparent PNG of a product can go on any banner, ad or listing layout.
Logos, icons and signatures
On white paper, raise the mask threshold in the Edges tab for crisp, clean edges.
Stickers, collages and memes
Pets, food, cars and objects all cut out cleanly when there's one clear subject.
Tips for a clean transparent PNG
Start with a photo that has one clear subject and some contrast between it and the background. Good, even lighting helps the AI find the edges.
If a faint, see-through haze is left around the subject, open the Edges tab and raise the Mask threshold. If a small area is wrong, use Erase to remove it or Restore to bring it back, and zoom in for detail. Undo and redo are always there.
