Background Remover

Strips backgrounds out of images automatically. Two methods: AI models (for people, products, general scenes) and solid-colour removal (for logos, signatures). The output is always a transparent PNG.

What it does

Use this to put e-commerce products on a white background, remove the background from a portrait, make a logo transparent, or clean up a scanned signature. No Photoshop needed.

How to use

  1. Drag images into the list.
  2. Pick an Extraction Method: AI Model or Solid Colour.
  3. For AI, pick a model (people / product / general).
  4. For Solid Colour, pick the target colour and adjust tolerance.
  5. Click Run.

You get a transparent PNG for each image.

AI models

ModelWhat for
ISNET-GeneralHigh precision, ideal for product photos.
U2NETGeneral purpose, well-balanced results.
U2NETPFast version, when detail does not matter.
U2NET_HUMANTuned for human portraits.

Alpha Matting: Better edges on hair or fur, but slower.

Solid Colour mode

For images with a uniform background. Logos, signatures, scanned drawings.

  • Target Colour: Auto-detect from corners (default), White, Black, or pick a colour.
  • Method:
    • Flood Fill: Removes matching colour only starting from the corners. Same colour inside the subject stays.
    • Chroma Key: Removes the colour anywhere in the image. For green/blue screen.
  • Tolerance: Colour similarity threshold (1-150). Higher removes more colour.
  • Edge Softening: How smooth the cutout edges are (0-10).

Examples

E-commerce products: Add the product photos, AI Model, ISNET-General, run. Every product gets a transparent background.

Profile photos: Add portraits, AI Model, U2NET_HUMAN, Alpha Matting on, run. Hair detail is preserved.

Make a logo transparent: Add the logo, Solid Colour mode, Target Colour White, Flood Fill, Tolerance 20, run.

Clean up a signature scan: Add the signature, Solid Colour mode, Auto-Detect, Tolerance 30. Only the signature remains.

Watch out

  • AI mode needs rembg and onnxruntime installed. The first run downloads the model, internet required.
  • AI processing takes minutes on large images and uses a lot of RAM.
  • Solid Colour mode only works well on uniform backgrounds. Use AI for complex backgrounds.
  • The output is always PNG, JPG is not offered (JPG cannot store transparency).
  • Very low-resolution images may come out with jagged edges.
