Remove portrait background — free online tool
Remove the background behind a person in a JPG, PNG or WebP photo and get a transparent PNG. Portrait mode, server-processed; check hair edges afterwards.

Remove image backgrounds
The server removes each background one at a time, then returns transparent PNG files for individual or ZIP download.
What to know
This page runs the portrait mode, meant for a head-and-shoulders photo, a full-length shot or a profile picture. The file goes to a server worker, which returns a PNG with a transparent background; it is not processed inside your browser tab, so keep that in mind for sensitive photos.
The usual follow-up is to place the person on a solid color, such as a flat blue or gray for a profile picture or a team page. Because the cutout is a PNG with alpha, you can try several background colors without going back to the original, and an official ID photo with strict background rules should be checked against the issuing office guidance rather than assumed.
Look closely at the places where a person and a backdrop blend. Loose hair, glasses with thin frames, a hand against a similar wall, a sweater the same color as the background and a handheld item are the areas that most often need a second look. If the subject is clipped, a source with better separation between person and backdrop helps more than repeating the run.
The batch takes up to 4 JPG, PNG or WebP files and 16 MB in total, one after another, so a small team portrait session fits in a single run. Download singly or as a ZIP, and compare the result on both a light and a dark preview before using it.

Quick answers
Does the person stay private in this tool?
The file is uploaded to a server worker for processing, unlike the browser-only tools. Do not use it for photos that must stay on your device.
Why is there a light fringe around my hair?
Strands of hair blend with the old background, and the leftover edge pixels carry its color. Placing the cutout on a similar color or choosing a source with a plain backdrop reduces it.
Can I get a white-background JPG instead of a transparent PNG?
Download the PNG, then use the convert tool to save it as a JPG, which fills transparent areas with white.
Should I use the product mode for a photo of a person holding an item?
Stay with portrait. The product mode is tuned for objects, so check the item edge in the result and retry with the other mode only if the person is clipped.
