Key Features

  • Two portrait modes: Standard (fast, multiple output options) and HD Portrait (hair-level edges, always transparent PNG)
  • Three output formats: transparent PNG (default), white background, cropped-to-subject (standard mode only)
  • Fully automatic AI detection: no manual outlining or green screen needed
  • Near-instant results: cutout returned within seconds of upload
  • Hair-level precision: optimized for hair strands, clothing edges, and complex outlines
  • Side-by-side comparison: original and result shown together, transparency shown as a checkerboard
  • One-click transparent PNG download
  • 3MB file limit, supports JPG/JPEG/PNG/BMP/WEBP, up to 2000×2000px
  • No login, completely free

How to Use

  1. Upload your image: drag a portrait into the upload area, click to upload, or paste with Ctrl+V.
  2. Choose a portrait mode: “Standard” (fast, supports transparent/white/cropped) or “HD Portrait” (hair-level edges, always transparent PNG).
  3. Choose output format: transparent (default), white background, or cropped-to-subject (HD mode always outputs transparent PNG).
  4. Click “Remove Background” and wait for the AI to finish.
  5. Preview the result below — the checkerboard pattern indicates transparent areas.
  6. Click “Download” to save the transparent PNG.

Use Cases

  • ID photo backgrounds: quickly swap ID photo backgrounds to white, blue, or red
  • Social avatars: create transparent or solid-color avatars for WeChat, Instagram, X, etc.
  • Portrait posters: isolate a person from a photo for posters, banners, and marketing materials
  • E-commerce model shots: remove cluttered backgrounds to focus on clothing and models
  • Resume photos: produce clean, professional headshots for CVs

Notes

  • File size is limited to 3MB and resolution to 2000×2000px; compress larger images first.
  • Supports JPG/JPEG/PNG/BMP/WEBP formats.
  • Optimized for real human photos only; cartoons, illustrations, and vector-style images are not supported.
  • HD Portrait mode has finer edges but always outputs a transparent PNG (no white-background or cropped options).
  • Default output is a transparent PNG (RGBA 4-channel); the checkerboard area is the transparent part.
  • Images are used temporarily during processing and deleted automatically afterward — no permanent storage.
