How to remove a background
from an image

Upload an image

Choose a JPG, PNG or WebP, drag it onto the page, or paste it from your clipboard. No account needed.

Edit the cutout

Keep the background transparent or try colors, photos, outlines and effects. Use Erase and Restore for touch-ups.

Download your PNG

Save your image as a PNG for your website, presentation or social post. Keep the background transparent or download with the background you added.

Remove backgrounds
for web and print.

Upload your image and use Jukebox’s advanced background removal tools for web and print. Download a transparent PNG, choose free 4× upscaling, and use your cutout on websites, social media, business cards, stickers and posters.

The details make the difference.

Look closely at fine hair, fur and the edges of clothing. Use Erase and Restore to refine the cutout before it goes into your layout.

Start with a sharp original.

Use your highest-resolution original and check the image at its final print size. Choose 4× when downloading if your cutout needs more pixels.

Take your cutout into Jukebox Sticker Maker to add a border and create a print-ready PDF with a production cut line.

Common Questions.

Are my images safe?

Yes. Your images are transferred to our servers SSL/TLS-encrypted, and they stay encrypted while they are stored with us. We use them only to remove the background from your image.

Your image is never sent to a third party. The background is removed on our own servers, by a model we run ourselves. Everything you do afterwards, including filters, outlines, shapes and text, happens inside your own browser and is never uploaded at all.

We do not publish your images, we do not sell them, and we do not share them with anyone. There is no public gallery, no listing, and nothing for a search engine to find. No signup or account is required, so nothing you upload is tied to a person.

Your recent cutouts are saved in your own browser, so you can come back later and pick up where you left off without uploading again. That history lives on your device, not on our servers. The original image you uploaded is deleted from our processing servers automatically after 30 days. If you go on to order a printed product, we keep that artwork with your order so we can print it.

How do I remove the background from an image for free?

Upload a JPG, PNG or WebP, or paste it from your clipboard. The background is removed automatically in a few seconds and you download a transparent PNG. No account, no watermark, no payment.

How do I make the background of an image transparent?

Upload the image and the background is replaced with transparency automatically. Download it as a PNG, which keeps the transparent background. JPG does not support transparency, so choose PNG when you need it.

Can I remove a background without losing quality?

Yes. The cutout is made at your original resolution, and the edges around hair, fur and clothing are kept. If the original is small, choose 4x when you download to get a larger image.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. It runs in the browser on iPhone and Android with nothing to install. Upload from your camera roll, then save the PNG back to your phone or share it directly.

Can I remove the background from a PNG, logo or signature?

Yes. It works on photos, logos, graphics and scanned signatures, and you get a transparent PNG back. For a signature, photograph it on plain white paper in good light for the cleanest result.

What is the best free background remover?

The best one is the one that gives you a clean edge with no signup and no watermark, and lets you keep working on the image afterwards. Jukebox removes the background for free, then lets you change the background, add outlines, crop a profile picture or upscale, all in the same place.

Can I remove backgrounds from more than one image at a time?

Yes. Upload up to 50 images at once, up to 25 MB each, and each one is processed and downloaded separately as a transparent PNG.
