Everything you need in Remove Photo Background

Photographs, not clip art only

Works on camera JPEGs as well as PNG graphics, so a real photo background can become empty pixels.

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

Removing a photo background should stay private. Focera runs cutout in your browser so the original shot never leaves this device.

  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 the photo background. 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 photo background tool anytime to process another file.
