How to remove the background from an image for free
Cut out the background of a photo for free in your browser — no sign-up, no upload. Great for product shots, profile pictures and passport photos.
Removing the background from an image — leaving just the subject on a transparent or new backdrop — used to need Photoshop. Now you can do it free in a browser, and OrionDesk does it without ever uploading your photo.
Private by design
The Background Remover runs the cut-out on your own device using an in-browser AI model. Your image is never sent to a server, which matters for personal photos, ID pictures and unreleased product shots.
How to remove a background, step by step
- Open the Background Remover.
- Upload your image (JPG, PNG or WebP).
- Tap Smart detect for a one-click automatic cut-out. On a slower laptop, tick Fast mode for a quicker result.
- Refine the edges if needed with the keep/erase brushes, then download a transparent PNG.
Tips for a clean cut
- Good contrast between the subject and background gives the best automatic result.
- Use Smart outline to pick exactly which objects to keep in a busy scene.
- Need a specific backdrop colour (e.g. for an ID photo)? Use the Passport photo studio, which swaps the background to a compliant colour.
