Transparent PNG cutouts for product shots, logos, and avatars
Remove a background locally for free, or use Pro AI when the edges are hard. Export a transparent PNG, or drop the subject onto a solid colour or an AI-generated background.
Pro AI mode for hard edges
Hair, fur, glass, and busy backgrounds go to an AI model that keeps the fine detail the local mode would lose.
Transparent or replaced background
Export a transparent PNG for design work, or fill the background with white, a custom colour, or an AI-generated scene.
What the cutout is usually for
- Product photos that need a clean white or transparent background for a marketplace listing.
- Logos turned into transparent PNGs so they sit on any colour without a white box.
- Round the cutout into an avatar with the rounded corner tool for a profile picture.
- Shrink the exported PNG in the image compressor — transparent PNGs are often larger than expected.
Background Remover FAQ
How do I remove background from image online?
Upload your JPG, PNG, or WebP image to ShotEdit, choose Basic Local for browser-based processing or Pro AI for sharper cutouts, preview the result, then download a transparent PNG, JPG, or WebP file.
What is the difference between Basic Local and AI mode?
Basic Local mode processes images in your browser using a simple color-and-edge algorithm — fast and private for plain backgrounds. AI mode uploads your image to our server for higher-quality background removal powered by advanced AI models. Signed-in users can try AI with a limited shared trial allowance, while Pro members use their monthly AI quota.
Is my image safe in AI mode?
Yes. Images uploaded for AI background removal are temporarily stored for processing only. AI background generation sends only your preset, text prompt, and aspect ratio. Finished tasks are cleaned up automatically, and generated backgrounds are composited locally in your browser.
Can I generate a new background after removing the original one?
Yes. After the cutout is ready, signed-in users can choose AI background, pick a preset or write a custom description, and use any remaining shared trial allowance. Pro members use their monthly AI quota. ShotEdit then composites the subject and background locally for download or copy.
What image formats are supported?
Uploads support JPG, PNG, and WebP. When AI processing is available through your trial allowance or Pro quota, you can export transparent PNG, WebP, or JPG with a filled background.
Do I need Pro to use AI mode?
You need to be signed in to use AI mode. Non-subscribed users receive a limited free trial; after the shared allowance is used, upgrade to Pro to continue. Pro members use their monthly AI quota.
How long does AI background removal take?
AI processing typically takes 5-15 seconds depending on image complexity and size. After processing, you can adjust the background, format, and trim settings.
