Everything you need to make an image background transparent

Clean subject isolation

AI separates people, products, and graphics so you can make an image background transparent and keep real alpha — no pen-tool tracing.

Crop, shadow, and sticker outline

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

PNG or WebP with true alpha

Save a transparent PNG for the widest compatibility, or WebP when you need a smaller web-ready file.

100% browser-based

Cutouts run locally with ONNX models. Images stay on your device for private, free edits.

How It Works

Making an image background transparent should stay on one screen: upload, isolate the subject, then download. Focera keeps that path free and 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. Clear the backdrop. 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 image background transparent tool anytime to process another file.
