How to use it
Choose a photo of a person, a product or anything else.
The background comes off by itself. Then pick transparent, white, a colour or a gradient.
Crop it if you like, then download it.
One photo, any background
Swap a busy background for plain white. White is already chosen on this page, and your photo stays on your device.
The photo as taken
Transparent, for designs and slides
White, for forms and CVs
A colour or gradient, for profiles
When plain white is asked for
- Profile photos for work, job sites and school portals.
- Forms and ID cards that ask for a plain background: check their own rules on colour and size first.
- Catalogue and team pages, where every picture should match.
Saved as a JPG
A white background has no see-through part, so the result is saved as a JPG, which keeps the file small.
If a form sets a file size in KB, compress the result afterwards. For exam and job applications, the photo and signature resizer makes both the size and the file size each portal asks for.
For a cleaner white background
- Stand in front of a background that differs from your hair and clothes, in even light.
- Keep your head and shoulders in the photo, with some space around them.
- If a patch of the old background stays, erase it by hand in Cutout.
Frequently asked questions
How do I add a white background to my photo?
Choose the photo: the background comes off by itself. White is already chosen on this page, so the person appears on plain white, ready to download.
Can I pick another colour instead?
Yes. Open Background and pick any swatch, a gradient, or your own colour. The person is found once, so changing the colour is instant.
Is this right for an exam or job photo?
For exam and job applications, use the photo and signature resizer: it makes the size and the file size each portal asks for, and checks them.
Some background is still there. Can I fix it?
Yes. Open Cutout, pick Erase and paint over it. With Keep edges on, the brush takes only colours like the one you start on, so what you keep stays sharp. Restore brings back anything removed by mistake.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. The background is removed in your browser and nothing is sent to a server. It is free, with no sign-up and no watermark.
