Remove background from a photo

One click, clean edges, transparent PNG.

Drop a photo and Pixa finds the subject, cuts it out and keeps the fine details, from stray hairs to whiskers and lace. You get a transparent PNG ready for a store listing, a slide or a sticker.

How it works

  1. Upload your photo

    Drag a JPG, PNG, WebP or HEIC file up to 25 MB onto the page, or paste it from your clipboard.

  2. Let Pixa cut it out

    The subject is detected and separated from the background in about 5 seconds. Refine the edge with the erase and restore brushes if you need to.

  3. Download the cut-out

    Save a transparent PNG or WebP, or a JPG on white or on any color you pick.

Why use it

  • Hair and fur stay intact

    The model is tuned for fine strands and soft edges, so portraits and pet photos don’t come out with a helmet-shaped outline.

  • Ready for marketplaces

    Export on pure white (#FFFFFF) for product listings, or keep the transparency for your own layouts.

  • No editing skills needed

    No pen tool, no layer masks: the cut-out is ready before an editor would have finished loading.

Questions and answers

What kinds of photos work best?

Any photo with a clear subject: people, pets, products, cars or food. Busy scenes work too; when objects overlap, the brushes let you choose what to keep.

Does it keep the original resolution?

Yes. The cut-out is exported at the exact pixel size of the photo you upload, up to the 25 MB file limit.

Can I put a new background behind the subject?

Yes. Pick a solid color in the download options, or open Change background to place the subject on a photo or a studio backdrop.

Is it free?

Yes, within the free plan: 50 credits a month, and each photo uses one credit. Pro and Team add more credits and batch processing of up to 50 photos at once.

What happens to the photos I upload?

They are used only to process your request, never to train models. Uploads are deleted automatically after 24 hours, unless you save the result to your library.
