Remove the background behind a person

Attach a photo of a person, ask ToolGPT to remove the background, and choose what goes behind them: nothing at all, for a transparent PNG, or a plain color. The cut-out is made in your browser, and the photo keeps its framing.

What it can do

  • Transparent PNG

    Choose Transparent and the person is saved as a PNG with a see-through background, ready for a slide or a design.

  • Plain colors

    White, light gray and light blue are one tap away, and any other color can be asked for in the chat.

  • The whole photo kept

    The framing stays as it was. You can still zoom, move or turn the photo on the card before saving.

  • The person is not redrawn

    Only the background changes: the person's own pixels are kept, and nothing about them is generated.

  • Free, in your browser

    The cut-out is made on your device, so the photo is not uploaded, and there is nothing to pay.

How it works

  1. 1

    Attach a photo of a person

    Add a JPEG, PNG or WEBP with the + button, or drop it into the chat. No account is needed.

  2. 2

    Pick the new background

    Ask to remove or change the background. On the card, choose Transparent or a color and check the live preview.

  3. 3

    Save and download

    Tap Save photo. The new image appears in the chat with a download button: a PNG when the background is transparent, otherwise a JPEG.

Made for people, not products

The cut-out uses a model trained to find people, so it works on portraits, selfies, and photos of someone indoors or outside. It does not treat products, pets, cars or other objects as the subject, and it is not meant for them.

For an object, the AI image editor can put a new background behind it from a written instruction instead. That is a separate, paid tool with its own page.

Size, format and edges

The result keeps your photo's shape and is up to 2,048 pixels on its longest side; a larger photo is scaled down to that size. A colored background is saved as a JPEG, and a transparent one as a PNG, which keeps the see-through areas. Details stored in the original, such as the GPS location, are not carried over.

Loose hair and fine edges are the hardest part of any cut-out. A photo taken against a plain wall that contrasts with your hair and clothes gives the cleanest result.

Free, and private to your browser

The person is found and the background replaced on your device, so the photo is not uploaded, and removing the background is free. The first photo takes a little longer while the model that finds people loads in your browser. For an official passport or visa photo, which also needs the head framed to a set size, use the passport photo maker.

Frequently asked questions

Does it work on products or pets?

No. It is made for people. For other subjects, the AI image editor can replace a background from a written instruction instead.

How do I get a transparent background?

Choose Transparent on the card, or ask for it. The result is saved as a PNG.

Will my photo be cropped?

No. The whole photo is kept unless you zoom or move it on the card.

Is my photo uploaded?

No. The background is removed in your browser.
