About Transparent Background Maker
A transparent PNG maker that runs on your device. Photos go through an AI subject model and an edge matting model; flat graphics are keyed by color. Every edge pixel keeps a partial alpha value, and its color is cleaned of the old background, which is what makes a cutout look natural over a new color instead of showing a light or dark fringe.

Frequently asked questions
Which format keeps a transparent background?+
PNG and WebP keep transparency; JPG cannot, it always has a solid background. This tool saves PNG, which works everywhere: Word, PowerPoint, Canva, Google Slides, websites and print shops.
Can I make a JPG transparent?+
Yes. Add the JPG and download the result as PNG. The original file is not changed.
Can I remove the empty space around the subject?+
Yes. Turn on Crop to the subject and the PNG is trimmed to the subject with a small margin, which makes it easier to place in a document or a design.
Will the edges look jagged?+
No. Edges keep partial transparency, so hair, fur and anti-aliased lines blend smoothly into whatever you place them on, with the old background's color taken out of them.
Is there a size or count limit?+
There is no daily limit. Images are worked on at up to 3072 pixels on the long side on a computer and 2048 on a phone, which keeps them sharp while staying within the memory a browser has.
