Everything you need in Remove Background from Photo

Photo in, empty pixels out

The original scene is discarded as alpha. The subject remains for a new color, texture, or layout.

Crop, padding, and outline

Crop to the subject, add padding, apply a drop shadow, or add a white, black, or custom sticker outline before you export.

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

How It Works

Removing background from a photo should not require a studio sweep. Focera isolates the subject locally and keeps download on this page.

  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. Remove background from the photo. 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 remove background from photo tool anytime to process another file.
