How It Works

Cleaning a background from a doc image should not rewrite the document. You still place the PNG in Word, Google Docs, or a PDF tool.

  1. Upload your image. Drag and drop a JPG, PNG, or WebP file up to 10 MB, or click the upload zone to browse. Your original preview appears immediately on the right.
  2. Clean the document image background. Click Make background transparent to run AI cutout in your browser. A loading indicator shows model download and processing progress on the first visit.
  3. Refine and download. Use the before/after slider to inspect edges, then crop to the subject, add padding, a drop shadow, or a sticker outline. Download a transparent PNG or WebP.

Jump back to the clean background from doc image tool anytime to process another file.

What file do I get from clean background from doc image?

A PNG or WebP with alpha, so a signature, stamp, or scan subject can sit on a form or letterhead.
