How to make a transparent PNG in 2026
A transparent PNG keeps the subject and removes the background without filling it with white. Use this three-step browser workflow when you need a cutout for a store profile, slide deck, CV photo or design file.
- Upload your image: Drag and drop a JPG, PNG or WebP file, or select it from your device.
- Let AI find the subject: The segmentation model isolates the foreground and creates a soft alpha edge.
- Download your cutout: Export transparent PNG or WebP, or place the subject on a new background color.
Start with a clear subject
Sharp edges and even lighting make it easier for AI to separate a person, product, pet or object from the background.
Choose transparent PNG, not JPG
JPG does not preserve transparency. Export PNG for maximum compatibility, or WebP when the destination supports it.
Check hair and product edges
Use high-detail mode for portraits, fur, jewelry, bottles and other products with thin or soft boundaries.
Keep the original private
For unreleased products or personal photos, browser-side processing means the image does not need to be uploaded to an editing server.

Remove a Background NowFAQ
Is ClearCut BG free to use?
Yes. The first version offers free browser-based background removal with no signup and no watermark.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. The current editor runs the AI model in your browser. Your original image and result stay on your device unless you choose to save them.
Which formats can I upload and download?
You can upload common JPG, PNG and WebP images up to 30 MB. Transparent results download as PNG or WebP.
Can it remove backgrounds from people and products?
Yes. The model is designed for automatic foreground segmentation, including people, products, animals and many everyday objects.
Does the result have a watermark?
No. Free downloads do not include a ClearCut BG watermark.
Why does the first image take longer?
Your browser downloads and caches the AI model once. Later images usually process much faster.
Can I use the images commercially?
You keep control of the images you process. You are responsible for having rights to the source photo and for complying with the rules of the platform where you publish it.
What happens if remove.bg is unavailable?
ClearCut BG is built as an independent alternative with the essential upload, automatic cutout and transparent-download workflow.
