Remove photo background

Cut out the person or object and put a clean background behind it.

Also called: background remover, cut out photo.

Cut out a person or object automatically. Save a transparent PNG, put a white or coloured background behind it, or blur the background like a portrait photo.

Remove the background from a photo

This tool separates the main subject of a photo, such as a person or a product, from everything behind it. You can then keep the background transparent, or replace it with plain white, light blue, grey, any colour you pick, or a soft blur of the original. It is used for passport and ID photos, profile pictures, product photos for online shops and creative posts.

Background choices

Transparent saves a PNG with no background, ready to place on a poster or another picture. White suits most passport, visa and exam photos. Light blue and grey are common for ID cards and office profiles. Custom colour lets you match a brand colour. Blur keeps the original background but softens it behind a sharp subject, like the portrait mode on a phone.

How it works

An AI model looks at the photo and marks which parts belong to the subject. The first time you use the tool, this small model of about 4.5 MB is downloaded from PDFPixo once and kept by your browser; after that it works even without internet. The photo itself is never sent anywhere.

Getting clean edges

The tool works best when the subject is clear and stands apart from the background: good light, a face looking at the camera, and a background of a different colour from the clothes and hair. Fine hair, glass and similar colours may leave a rough edge, so zoom in and check before using the photo officially.

For official photos

Many forms want a white or light background with a clear face. Remove the background here, then use the passport photo sheet or exam photo tool to get the exact size and KB the form asks for. Check the official rules of the form, because some do not accept edited photos.

Common uses

Make a white-background photo for a form at home, cut out a product for a shop listing, create a sticker or a profile picture, or put a person on a new background with the photo overlay tool.

Taking a good photo for cut-out

Stand a little away from a plain wall, face the light, and keep the camera at eye level. Avoid clothes of the same colour as the wall. A sharp, well-lit photo gives the cleanest edges, and the result will need less checking.
