How to Remove an Image Background

  1. Upload Your Image: Click the upload area to select an image from your device.
  2. Choose a Removal Method: Click 'Remove White Background' or 'Remove Green Screen'. For custom colors, click on the color in the image you want to remove.
  3. Adjust Tolerance: Use the 'Tolerance' slider to fine-tune how much of the selected color is removed. A higher tolerance will remove more color variations.
  4. Download Your Image: Once the background is gone, click 'Download PNG' to save your image with a transparent background.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the downloaded image have to be a PNG?

The PNG format is used because it supports transparency, which is necessary to save an image without a background. Formats like JPG do not support transparency and would add a white background by default.

What does the 'Tolerance' slider do?

The tolerance slider controls the sensitivity of the color removal. A low tolerance will only remove pixels that are very close to the selected color, while a high tolerance will remove a broader range of similar colors.

Can this tool remove complex backgrounds from photos?

This tool is best suited for removing solid-color backgrounds (like white, green, or blue screens). For complex backgrounds with many colors and textures, the results may vary. It is not an AI-based background remover.
