How to make an image transparent

  1. Drop the image above, or paste it from your clipboard.
  2. Wait a second or two. The checkerboard behind the subject is the transparent area.
  3. Drag the slider to compare with the original, then click Download PNG.

The output is a PNG with a true alpha channel, so it drops onto any background in Slides, Canva, Figma, Word or a website without a white box around it. JPG cannot store transparency, which is why the result is always a PNG.

Where a transparent image is useful

  • Product cutouts for listings, ads and collages.
  • Headshots on a brand colour for team pages and slides.
  • Stickers, memes and thumbnails.
  • Icons and illustrations scanned from paper.

Tip. Transparency is only visible on a checkerboard or a coloured background. If the download looks like it has a white background in a preview app, open it over a dark colour to see the real edges.

Why people are switching to DropBG

remove.bg's standalone website shuts down on December 1, 2026 and moves into Canva. If you just want a background gone, without a design suite and a login, this is the tool.

Private by design

The model runs inside your browser. Your photos never touch a server, which also means there is nothing for us to store, leak or train on.

Genuinely unlimited

No credits, no "1 free HD download per month", no watermark. Processing happens on your hardware, so there is no per-image cost to pass on.

Fast after the first run

The model is cached by your browser once. From then on, most photos finish in one to three seconds, and it keeps working without an internet connection.

Questions

Why does my transparent image look white in some apps?

Some image viewers paint transparent pixels white or black. Drop the PNG onto a coloured slide or use the colour swatches above to preview it on a different background before you download.

Can I make a GIF or JPG transparent?

You can load a JPG or a single GIF frame, but the result is saved as a PNG because JPG has no transparency channel and GIF only supports hard one-bit transparency, which ruins hair and soft edges.

Does it keep the original resolution?

Yes. The PNG is the same pixel size as the image you dropped in. There is no free-tier downscale.

Is this really free?

Yes. No credits, no watermark, no daily cap, no account, and no ads. The remover runs on your own device, so giving it away costs us nothing. An optional one-time Pro unlock pays for the site.

Is my image uploaded anywhere?

No. The AI model downloads to your browser once and every image is processed on your own device. Open your browser's network tab while you use it: you will see the model download and nothing else.
