1. Upload your image.

Select a JPEG, PNG, or WebP file from your device. For best results, choose a photo where the subject is clearly defined against the background.

2. Remove the background automatically.

Once you upload your image, our tool instantly detects and removes the background and no manual selection or editing required.

3. Download or keep editing.
