How it works

  1. Upload your photo

    Upload a photo with a clearly visible subject. Sharp edges between the subject and background produce the cleanest background results. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

    Expect: Clean subject/background contrast: 15-20 seconds. Complex edges like hair or fur: 20-30 seconds and usually perfect on first try.

  2. Describe what you want

    Type 'remove the background' or 'make the background transparent.' That's it. The AI knows what 'background' means and isolates your subject automatically. For specific results, add detail: 'remove the background and replace with pure white.'

    Tip: Say 'remove background, keep clean edges around the hair' if your subject has fine hair—this tells the AI to pay extra attention to edge detail.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    E-commerce product on white remove the background and replace with pure white, keep the product edges clean and sharp
    Try This →
    Portrait background removal remove the background from this portrait, keep clean edges around the hair and shoulders
    Try This →
    Transparent background for graphics remove the background completely and make it transparent, preserve all fine details of the subject
    Try This →
    Remove busy outdoor background remove the cluttered background behind the person, replace with a clean solid light grey

    Group of objects isolation remove the background from this group of products, keep all items and their arrangement intact
    Try This →
    Logo or graphic cutout remove the background from this logo, make it transparent, preserve sharp edges on all text and shapes
    Try This →
    Pet photo background removal remove the background from this pet photo, keep clean edges around the fur and whiskers
    Try This →
    Food photo for menu or delivery app remove the background from this food photo, replace with pure white, keep the plate and food edges clean
    Try This →
    Headshot for professional profile remove the background from this headshot and replace with a clean solid light gray, keep perfect edges around hair
    Try This →

  3. Review the cutout

    Check edges at full zoom, especially around hair, fingers, and thin details. Verify no background remnants are left as color fringe. The subject should look cleanly isolated.

  4. Refine with markers if needed

    If the AI missed a section or left a background halo around edges, tap markers on those spots and regenerate. Most backgrounds are removed perfectly on the first try.

    Tip: Markers are for precision refinement only. Try without them first—you usually won't need them.

Detailed Guides by Scenario

📷

Professional Photography

Remove unwanted background from professional photo shoots, client deliverables, and stock photography to achieve clean, polished results.

Common Scenarios

  • Client portrait sessions where the background appeared unexpectedly in frame
  • Stock photography that needs the background removed for broader commercial appeal
  • Product photography with distracting background in the background

Best Practices

  • Zoom in and place a marker directly on the background for the most accurate removal
  • Run a second pass if any faint outlines or shadows remain after the first edit
  • Describe the desired background fill — e.g., 'replace the background with clean wall' for predictable results
📷

Real Estate & Property Listings

Clean up property photos by removing background that distract buyers and lower perceived home value.

Common Scenarios

  • Listing photos where the background clutters the frame and makes rooms look smaller
  • Exterior shots with background that hurt curb appeal
  • Open house photos that need the background removed before uploading to MLS

Best Practices

  • Shoot the space first, then edit — AI removal works better than awkward staging workarounds
  • After removing the background, check that floor lines and wall edges still look straight
  • Process all listing photos in one session so lighting and style stay consistent
📷

Personal & Social Media

Fix personal photos by removing background before sharing on social media, printing, or gifting.

Common Scenarios

  • Vacation photos where the background appeared in an otherwise perfect shot
  • Family photos with background that distract from the people in the frame
  • Profile pictures and dating app photos that need the background cleaned out

Best Practices

  • Save the original photo first — edit a copy so you can always go back
  • For group photos, mark the background carefully to avoid affecting nearby people
  • If the first result isn't perfect, try rewording your prompt with more detail about the background

If something looks off

AI changed the wrong area or something I didn't want changed

Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly what counts as 'background' versus 'subject.' This happens with complex compositions or when objects are close together.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific area you want removed, then regenerate with the same prompt
Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS area specifically.' Use them when the subject/background boundary is ambiguous.

Color fringe or halo around edges

Why: Background color bleeding into subject edges, especially noticeable when the original background was bright or colored.

Try: remove the background and clean up any color fringe or halo around the subject edges
Try This →

Tip: Adding 'clean up color fringe' explicitly targets the most common edge artifact in background removal.

Fine hair or fur details were cut off

Why: Wispy hair, fur, or thin details at the edges were clipped because they blended with the background color.

Try: remove the background but preserve all fine hair and wispy details, even thin strands at the edges
Try This →

Tip: 'Preserve wispy details' prioritizes keeping thin edge details over a perfectly clean cutout.

Part of the subject was removed with the background

Why: An area of the subject had similar color or texture to the background, so the AI included it in the removal.

Try: Tap markers on the areas that should remain and regenerate: keep these marked areas as part of the subject
Try This →

Tip: Markers on the subject tell the AI 'this belongs to the subject, not the background.'

Background remnants visible in small gaps

Why: Small spaces between fingers, between arm and body, or inside handles weren't identified as background.

Try: Tap markers on the remaining background spots between fingers and in gaps, then regenerate to remove them
Try This →

Tip: Small enclosed gaps are the most commonly missed areas—a quick marker pass handles them.

Quick answers

Do I need to trace around the subject before removing the background?

No! Just type 'remove the background' and the AI identifies and removes it automatically. No tracing, no selection tools, no magic wand. Only use markers if the AI misses a spot—tap the remaining background area and regenerate.

How do I remove the background from a photo for free?

Upload your photo to EditThisPic and type 'remove the background.' The AI isolates your subject with clean edges in 15-25 seconds. Works on products, portraits, logos, and complex subjects with hair. Free to use, no account required, no watermarks.

Is there a free AI background remover that doesn't require login?

Yes, EditThisPic removes backgrounds for free with no account needed. Upload your image, type your instruction, and download the result. No watermarks on outputs. Handles hair, fur, and complex edges automatically.

What's the best free AI background remover for product photos?

EditThisPic offers free AI background removal optimized for product photography. Type 'remove background and replace with white' for e-commerce-ready images. Clean edges, no halos, and handles transparent or reflective products. No signup required.

Can it handle complex edges like hair, fur, or transparent objects?

Yes. The AI preserves fine details like individual hair strands, pet fur, lace, and semi-transparent items. For extra edge precision, add 'keep clean edges around the hair' to your prompt. Complex subjects may take 20-30 seconds instead of the usual 15.

Will it output a transparent PNG I can use in designs?

Yes. Type 'remove the background and make it transparent' to get a PNG with alpha channel. The result can be directly overlaid on other images, presentations, or design projects without any background color remaining.

Can I remove the background and replace it with a specific color?

Yes. Type 'remove the background and replace with pure white' for e-commerce listings, or use any color: 'replace with light blue', 'replace with solid black.' You can also replace with scenes: 'replace background with a modern office.'

Does it work for batch product photos or do I need to do them one at a time?

Currently EditThisPic processes one image at a time. Each background removal takes 15-25 seconds. For product sellers processing many images, the speed and consistency make it practical even for larger batches done individually.
