How It Works

  2. Remove the background for a profile pic. 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.
