For PNG Files
PNG Background Remover
PNG already supports transparency — but only if the original file used it. Most PNGs you find online still have a solid white, black, or coloured background baked in. Upload a PNG to remove its background and download a PNG. To keep a transparent background, leave the background transparent rather than selecting an opaque background color. Works on screenshots, design exports, AI-generated images, and product shots saved as PNG. Edge pixels or export dimensions may change; inspect the result.

How to remove the background from a PNG
- 1
Upload your PNG file
Drag and drop a PNG up to 25 MB. Inputs may have a solid-colour background, photo backdrop, or existing alpha channel. The model processes the image again, so inspect how existing transparency and foreground details change.
- 2
Choose a model in advanced settings
Auto chooses the available removal route. Choose an explicit model in Advanced settings when you need manual edge controls.
- 3
Process and preview
Processing time varies with the image, selected model, provider load, and network. Use the compare slider to inspect the edges and verify the subject was correctly identified.

Download the PNG
Save the new PNG. To keep a transparent background, leave the background transparent rather than selecting an opaque background color. Open it in an image editor or browser to inspect the result.
Built for
Screenshots with white backgrounds
App screenshots, dashboard exports, and tutorial images are usually saved with a white backdrop. Strip it to drop them onto branded slides cleanly.
AI-generated PNGs
Stable Diffusion, Midjourney, and DALL-E exports often have a generated background. Cut just the subject for use in compositions.
Stock images
Free stock photo sites usually export JPG; when you find a PNG, the background is rarely transparent. Strip it once and re-use across projects.
Icon and asset cleanup
Icon packs distributed as PNGs sometimes ship with white or coloured tiles. The current tool processes one image at a time.
Pro tips
PNGs already have alpha — but most don't use it
Just because a file is a .png doesn't mean it has transparency. Most exported PNGs include a solid-colour background. The download format is PNG; leave the background transparent rather than selecting an opaque background color when transparency is required.
Lossless re-export
The output is a PNG. Edge pixels or export dimensions may change; inspect the result.
Pick the right model for hard edges
PNGs of UI elements, icons, and logos can have hard edges. Choose an explicit model when you want to control the route, then inspect the result.
Large PNGs can take longer
Processing time varies with image size, model, provider, and current load. If you do not need 4K resolution, downscale before upload.
Inspect output dimensions
Edge pixels or export dimensions may change; inspect the result. If you need a smaller version (for example, for a favicon), resize after background removal.
Frequently asked questions
Does the output keep transparency?
The download format is PNG. To keep a transparent background, leave the background transparent rather than selecting an opaque background color. Inspect the result in your editor before using it.
What's the maximum PNG file size?
25 MB. Most full-resolution PNG photos are well under this; only ultra-high-resolution scans or oversized exports approach the limit.
Will it work if the PNG is already transparent?
Yes, but the AI will re-detect what counts as foreground vs background. If you want to preserve the existing transparency exactly, don't process it again — the tool is for adding transparency, not refining it.
Does processing reduce image quality?
Edge pixels or export dimensions may change; inspect the result.
Can I process multiple PNGs?
This page currently processes one image at a time. Credits pay for image operations; infrastructure rate limits still apply.
Why is the output PNG larger than my input?
Adding an alpha channel can increase file size if the original PNG was paletted or low colour-depth. Inspect the downloaded PNG and re-compress it in an external tool if file size matters.
What output format does the tool download?
The download output is PNG. Inspect the result in your editor if a particular colour mode or file size is required.
