Everything you need to make an image transparent

One-pass AI cutout

Isolate a person, product, or graphic so you can make an image transparent and keep a PNG with real 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

When you need to make an image transparent, the job should stay on one screen. Focera handles upload, cutout, refine, 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. 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 transparent tool anytime to process another file.

  • Thumbnails and stickers — Cut people and objects free for covers, stories, and outline graphics.
  • Staff and profile photos — Prepare headshots that can sit on any branded color or photo behind them.

FAQ

Is it free to make an image transparent here?

Yes. Upload a photo, run the cutout, preview the result, 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. Files stay on your device.

What file do I get after I make an image transparent?

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 backdrop is gone, 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 attempts to make an image transparent 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.
