How it works

  1. Upload your photo

    Upload a clear photo showing the area you want to edit. Good lighting and sharp focus help the AI deliver better background transparent results. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

    Expect: Simple subjects with solid backgrounds: 15-20 seconds. Complex edges like hair or fur: may need 2-3 refinements over 1-2 minutes.
  2. Describe what you want

    Type exactly what you need: 'make the background transparent' or 'remove background and make it transparent with sharp edges.' That's it. No selection tools, no marking around the subject. The AI automatically identifies what to keep and what to remove.

    Tip: For product photos, add 'preserve shadows' if you want the natural shadow to remain. For logos, add 'crisp vector-like edges' for cleaner results.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Product photo for e-commerce make the background completely transparent with clean sharp edges around the product
    Logo or graphic for design work make background transparent with crisp vector-like edges, no anti-aliasing blur
    Portrait for composite work make background transparent, preserving all hair detail and individual strands with soft natural edges
    Product with natural shadow make background transparent but keep the natural product shadow as semi-transparent
    3 more prompts
    Object with fine details like lace or mesh make background transparent, preserving all fine details and holes in the fabric with clean separation
    Glass or transparent product make background transparent while preserving the glass transparency and reflections of the product
    Personalized gift or keepsake make background transparent in a high-quality, polished style. This is a personalized gift — make it look handcrafted and special, with rich detail and warm tones
  3. Generate and review

    Tap generate and examine the result. The preview shows a checkered pattern behind transparent areas. Zoom to 100% to check edges carefully—especially around hair, thin elements, or semi-transparent areas like glasses.

    Tip: The checkered pattern is standard for showing transparency. Your PNG will have true alpha transparency when downloaded.

Quick answers

Do I need to select or trace around my subject first?

No—just type what you want. 'Make background transparent' is all you need. The AI automatically detects your subject and removes the background. No lasso tools, no magic wand, no tracing.

Will the transparent PNG work in Canva, Photoshop, and other design software?

Yes. The PNG includes true alpha channel transparency that's compatible with all major design software including Canva, Photoshop, Illustrator, Figma, and Google Slides. The transparent areas will remain transparent when you import the file.

How do I handle subjects with complex hair or fur?

Add detail to your prompt: 'make background transparent, preserving all hair strands and fine details with soft edges.' The AI is trained to handle complex edges. Most hair works well on the first try.

Can I keep the shadow when making the background transparent?

Yes. Add 'preserve the shadow' or 'keep shadow as semi-transparent' to your prompt. The AI will create transparency behind the shadow while keeping the shadow itself visible. This creates more realistic composites when placing products on new backgrounds.

Why does my transparent PNG show a white background when I view it?

Your image viewer may display transparency as white by default. Open the file in an image editor or design software like Canva to verify the transparency. The checkered pattern shown in EditThisPic's preview confirms transparency was created—your PNG has it even if the viewer shows white.
