What does it do?

It takes a photo, cuts out the person, pet or product, and puts a solid colour behind it. You see the result straight away and can try as many colours as you like before you save.

You do not need to prepare anything. There is no masking and no layers. Upload the photo as it is, even with a busy room or street behind the subject.

How to change a background colour

  1. Upload a photo. Tap the box, drag a file in, or paste an image. The background is removed in a few seconds.
  2. Pick a colour. Tap a swatch to try it. Use More colours for extra shades, or the rainbow swatch for any colour you want.
  3. Download. The free download is up to 800 px with no watermark. Pro saves the full-resolution image.

Tips for a clean result

  • Use a sharp photo. Clear edges around hair and fur give the cleanest cut-out.
  • Keep it simple for products. White or light grey looks tidy on every shop and marketplace.
  • Add contrast for profiles. A dark or deep blue background makes a face stand out in a small circle.
  • Match your brand. Use the same colour on every photo so a feed or catalogue looks like one set.
  • Go soft for headshots. Navy, warm beige and mid grey flatter most skin tones without pulling focus.
  • Keep a transparent copy. Save one with the checkerboard swatch too, so you can change the colour again later.

When a solid colour beats transparent

A transparent PNG is flexible, but not every app handles it. Many social apps and chat apps turn the see-through area black or white when they compress the image, and you do not get to choose which. Saving the colour into the file means the photo looks the same everywhere you post it.

Shop listings. Marketplaces often ask for a white background. A solid colour also keeps thumbnails even in a grid.

Profile pictures and CVs. A plain background turns a casual photo into a tidy headshot. For a round avatar, finish it in the circle cropper.

Posts and banners. Put the subject on your brand colour, then crop it to the right shape with the image cropper.

Which colour should I pick?

White is the safe choice for products. Light grey is softer and hides small edge flaws. Black and navy give drama to portraits and pets. Bright colours work for posts and stickers, where you want the image to stand out in a feed. When in doubt, try three and compare. Switching is instant.

Questions people ask

Do I need a transparent PNG first?

No. Upload any photo. The background is removed for you, then you choose the colour that goes behind the subject.

Can I use my brand colour?

Yes. Tap the rainbow swatch at the end of the row and pick any colour, or type its exact value in your browser’s colour picker.

Is it free?

Yes, with no sign-up and no watermark. Free downloads are up to 800 px on the longest side. Pro saves the full-resolution image.

Can I still get a transparent PNG?

Yes. Pick the checkerboard swatch before you download and the background stays see-through.
