Make a photo background transparent, free

A transparent PNG keeps only your subject, so you can drop it on a slide, a website, a flyer or another photo. Cuthouse makes one in your browser, at full resolution, without uploading the photo anywhere.

How to do it

1. Open Cuthouse in Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari.
2. Drop your photo in, or copy it and press Ctrl/⌘ + V.
3. Wait a few seconds while your device removes the background. The first time, it downloads the cut-out model once.
4. If a spot is wrong, choose Erase or Restore and paint over it. Undo takes back the last stroke.
5. Leave Background on None and click Download PNG.

PNG, JPG or WebP?

• PNG keeps the transparency and works everywhere. Best for logos, slides and design work.
• WebP also keeps transparency and makes smaller files for websites.
• JPG can’t be transparent, so Cuthouse fills the background (white unless you pick a color).

Tips for clean edges

• A subject that stands out from the background gives the cleanest result.
• Use a small brush for hair and thin parts, a big one for leftover background.
• Tick Crop to the subject to trim the empty space around it.
