What to expect

How this tool works in practice

Fine hair, glass, smoke and similar translucent edges are difficult to separate perfectly. Inspect the outline before using the cutout in a final design.

Prepare a subject for a new layout

A transparent cutout lets you place a portrait or product into a presentation, collage or other design. Background removal isolates the visible subject; it does not isolate clothing from the person wearing it. Use Clothing Extractor for a clothing-only image, or Background Changer when you want a generated setting.

Inspect edges on light and dark backgrounds

Choose a source where the subject is clearly separated from its surroundings. After downloading, inspect hair, straps and translucent materials against contrasting backgrounds in your design. Keep the PNG format when you need transparency: converting the result to JPEG will not preserve a transparent background.
