Why remove the background from a photo?
Cutting out by hand with the pen tool or magic wand takes minutes per image, and hair or soft edges rarely look right. This tool uses an AI model that recognises the main subject (a person, a product, a pet, a logo) and separates the background in seconds, keeping fine detail.
The result is a PNG with transparency: put it on any colour, use it in an Amazon or Shopify listing, a YouTube thumbnail, a presentation or as a sticker. To turn the cut-out into an editable vector, run it through the AI vectorizer.
You get one free try with a free account. With ToolStudio Pro each image costs 1 of the 100 AI credits included every month.
How to remove the background from an image
- Drop your photo or click to choose it (PNG, JPG or WebP).
- Press “Remove background”. The AI takes a few seconds.
- Compare before and after with the slider.
- Download the transparent PNG.
When to remove a background
- Product photos on white or transparent for online shops and marketplaces.
- Portraits for CVs, LinkedIn profiles or team pages with a consistent background.
- YouTube thumbnails, covers and social media posts.
- Scanned or photographed logos you need on another colour.
- Stickers, montages and collages.
Supported formats
- Input: PNG, JPG, WebP, BMP and GIF (first frame).
- Very large images are reduced to 4096 px per side before processing; very small ones are enlarged so the AI has enough detail.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost?
With a free account you get one free try in each AI tool. ToolStudio Pro includes 100 AI credits every month: removing a background, upscaling, vectorizing or removing a watermark costs 1 credit per image, and a logo costs 10 credits. If you run out you can buy 100-credit packs as often as you like; purchased credits never expire.
Does it handle hair and tricky edges?
Yes. The model is trained to separate hair, fur and soft edges. Photos with little contrast between subject and background may leave an edge to touch up.
What format is the download?
A PNG with an alpha channel (transparency), at the size of the processed image.
Am I charged if it fails?
No. A credit is only taken when you get the result. If the AI does not answer or the image cannot be processed, the credit (or your free try) is given back automatically.
What happens to my images?
The image is sent to our server and to the AI service (Recraft) only to process it. The result is kept for one hour so you can download it and is then deleted. We do not use your images for anything else.
