About this tool

Why Use Manual Background Removal?

While AI segmentation works well for general portraits, graphic designers and pixel artists often need surgical control over color keys, vector logos, transparent glass, and fine textures:

  • Magic Wand Color Keying: Perfect for removing solid white or greenscreen backdrops instantly.
  • Zero Artifacts: Unlike cloud AI, you have full pixel-level brush control with instant undo/redo.
  • 100% Private & Offline: Your images are processed strictly in local browser memory.
Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Color Tolerance slider do?

Tolerance controls how similar a color must be to the clicked pixel to be erased. A low value (e.g. 10) erases only near-identical shades, while a higher value (e.g. 50) erases broader color gradients.

What is the difference between contiguous and global erase?

When contiguous is checked, only pixels connected to where you clicked will be erased. Unchecking it erases that color everywhere across the entire image.

Are transparent PNGs exported at full resolution?

Yes. The tool retains the original pixel dimensions and aspect ratio of your uploaded image.
