About Background Removal
Background removal replaces solid-color backgrounds with transparency. This is essential for product photos, profile pictures, and design elements that need to be placed on different backgrounds.
This tool works best with images that have a consistent solid-color background (white, green, blue, etc.). It uses color distance calculations to identify and remove background pixels based on your tolerance setting.
Higher tolerance removes more color variations but may eat into the subject. Lower tolerance is more precise but may leave remnants. Start around 30-40% and adjust based on results.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this tool remove complex backgrounds?
This tool is optimized for solid-color backgrounds. Complex backgrounds (natural scenes, gradients) may not be fully removed. For best results, use images with a consistent background color.
What tolerance setting should I use?
Start with 30-40% tolerance. Increase if background remnants remain, decrease if the subject's edges are being removed. Fine-tune based on the specific image.
Why is the output saved as PNG?
PNG is the only web-standard format that supports full transparency. JPEG doesn't support transparent pixels, so the output must be PNG to preserve the removed background.
Can I remove a white background?
Yes. The tool works with any solid color background including white, black, green, blue, or any other uniform color.
