What is Background Removal?
Background removal is the process of isolating the main subject of an image by removing everything else around it. This creates a transparent background, allowing you to place the subject on any new background or use it in designs without the original context. Our AI-powered tool makes this process automatic and effortless.
Why Remove Image Backgrounds?
E-commerce and Product Photography
Online marketplaces like Amazon, eBay, and Etsy require clean product images with white or transparent backgrounds. Removing backgrounds makes your products look professional, increases click-through rates, and improves conversion. Customers can focus on your product without distractions from busy backgrounds.

Understanding Transparent PNGs
PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is the ideal format for images with transparent backgrounds. Unlike JPG, PNG supports an alpha channel that defines which parts of the image are transparent. When you remove a background, you get a PNG file where the background is truly transparent, not white. This means you can place the image on any colored background and it will blend perfectly.
