Everything you need to make a picture transparent

Instant subject cutout

AI segmentation pulls a person, product, or graphic off the scene so you can make a picture transparent and keep real alpha — no tracing by hand.

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. Pictures stay on your device for private, free edits.

How It Works

Making a picture transparent should stay simple: upload once, isolate the subject, then save. Focera keeps that path on one page with no account.

  1. Upload your picture. 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. Run the cutout. 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 picture transparent tool anytime to process another file.

FAQ

Is it free to make a picture transparent?

Yes. Drop in a photo, run the cutout, check the preview, and download a PNG or WebP with no account or payment.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. Processing stays in your browser. The picture never leaves this device.

What file do I get after I make a picture transparent?

A PNG or WebP with true empty pixels, 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. Once the backdrop 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. Export a transparent PNG or WebP.

Why does the first run take longer?

Your browser downloads the AI model once and caches it. Later cutouts on this device are much faster.

Can I use the results commercially?

Yes. Files you export are yours for listings, ads, client work, and personal projects.

Want a filled backdrop instead?

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