How to make a transparent background (PNG)

Updated 2026-07-09

A transparent background lets you drop a subject onto any colour, banner or mockup without a white box around it. The format that stores transparency is PNG (or WebP) — JPG can't.

How to make a background transparent

  1. Upload your image to the Background Remover.
  2. The AI cuts out the subject — even hair and fuzzy edges — and removes everything behind it.
  3. Download a transparent PNG.

Where transparent PNGs are useful

Keeping the transparency

Save/export as PNG (or WebP) — if you convert to JPG, the transparent area fills with white, because JPG has no alpha channel. Need the file smaller? Convert to WebP, which keeps transparency at a fraction of PNG's size.
