How It Works

Clearing a background should stay fast and private. Focera keeps upload, cutout, refine, and download on one page with no account.

  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. Clear the 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 clear background tool anytime to process another file.

FAQ

Is this clear background tool free?

Yes. Upload a photo, clear the backdrop, preview the cutout, and download a PNG or WebP with no account or payment.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. The cutout runs in your browser. Your files stay on this device.

What file do I get after I clear the background?

A PNG or WebP with alpha transparency, so the subject can sit on any new color, photo, or layout.

Can I crop the cutout, add a shadow, or a sticker outline?

Yes. After the background is cleared, crop to the subject, add padding, apply a drop shadow, or add a white, black, or custom outline, then download.

Which image formats are supported?

Upload JPG, PNG, or WebP files up to 10 MB. Download a transparent PNG or WebP.

Why does the first run take longer?

The AI model downloads once and is cached by your browser. Later cutouts on this device are much faster.

Can I use the results commercially?

Yes. Transparent files you download are yours for shops, ads, client work, and personal projects.

Need a new background instead?

Swap in a solid color or custom photo, blur the scene, or keep using everyday image utilities in one fast hub.
