      How to use this tool

      1. Choose an image

        Select a still JPG, PNG or WebP image. White parts of the subject can be affected as well as the background.

      2. Adjust threshold and softness

        Set how close a color must be to white, then use softness to control the transition around the threshold.

      3. Check what was removed

        Make sure text and white parts of the subject remain where needed, then save the result as a transparent PNG.

      This is not limited to a background connected to the edges. It processes near-white areas throughout the image, including white clothing, eyes, lettering and enclosed white areas.

      Common questions

      Does this automatically keep just a person or product?+

      No. This is not an AI background remover that recognizes a subject. It makes pixels transparent based on how close their color is to white.

      Why did white parts of my logo or clothing disappear?+

      The tool uses color and does not distinguish the subject from the background. Raising the threshold reduces the range of colors removed. Avoid this tool when important white details need to be preserved.

      Why is the output always PNG?+

      PNG preserves the transparency created by removing white areas. JPG cannot keep those areas transparent.
