Questions people ask

What kind of photos work best?

This tool is made for photos of people — selfies, passport photos and profile pictures — with the face and shoulders clearly visible. It is not meant for products or animals.

Can I make a white background for a passport or exam photo?

Yes. Choose “White”, download, then use our Passport photo or Resize photo tool to get the exact size and KB.

Is my photo uploaded to remove the background?

No. The background is removed by a small AI model that runs inside your browser. Your photo never leaves your device.

The edges look a little soft. Can I improve it?

Use a photo with good light and a plain wall behind you. Try the “Sharper edges” switch for a cleaner cut.
