Everything you need for a transparent background

One-click transparent cutout

AI segmentation clears the background from portraits, products, and graphics so you get a clean PNG with alpha — no manual masking.

Crop, shadow, and sticker outline

Trim empty pixels, add padding, drop a soft or hard shadow, or wrap the subject in a white, black, or custom sticker stroke.

PNG or WebP with true alpha

Download a transparent PNG for compatibility, or WebP when you want a smaller file for the web.

100% browser-based

Your photos never leave your device. Cutouts run locally with ONNX models for private, free edits.

How It Works

Making a photo background transparent should be fast, private, and free. Focera keeps the whole workflow on one page — upload, clear the background, refine the cutout, and download without an 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. Make the background transparent. 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 make background transparent tool anytime to process another file.

FAQ

Is this transparent background tool free?

Yes. Upload a photo, make the background transparent, preview the cutout, and download a PNG with no account or payment.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. AI cutout runs entirely in your browser. Your files stay on your device.

What file do I get after processing?

A PNG or WebP with alpha transparency — ready for e-commerce, design tools, slides, and social graphics.

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 wrap the cutout in a white, black, or custom outline, then download PNG or WebP.

Which image formats are supported?

Why does the first run take longer?

The AI model downloads once and is cached by your browser. Later transparent cutouts are significantly faster.
