How it works

  1. 1Drop your image — PNG, JPG or WebP, one file or a whole batch.
  2. 2The flat background colour is detected from the edges and removed automatically.
  3. 3Download as PNG with real transparency — shadows, glass and glow are still there.

Why not just another AI cutout tool?

There is no neural network here. It is a deterministic matting pipeline: find the background colour, recover per-pixel coverage, unmix the edge colours. The same image always produces the same result, the whole thing is about 1.7 MB with no model download, and it works on flat-colour art where AI cutters smear the edges.

Frequently asked questions

Will my image be uploaded?

No. The removal runs in your browser in a Web Worker — the server only receives the detected background colour, the image dimensions and a one-time challenge. No pixels ever leave your device.

Which solid colours work best?

Bright, saturated colours — green screen, magenta, cyan — give the sharpest edges and the best shadow preservation. White, grey and black also work; shadow handling on those is more conservative.

Do I need to pick the background colour?

No. The background colour is detected automatically from the pixels along the image edges, so a plain drop-in usually just works.

Is it free?

Yes — free with a generous daily limit, no signup required. Pro plans remove the limit.
