Remove a white background

Turn the white background of a logo, signature, icon or product photo transparent, so it sits cleanly on any colour. Works for any plain background colour.

How it works

  1. Your browser decodes the image and measures how close each pixel is to the background colour.
  2. Starting from the edges, matching pixels become transparent, with a soft transition so edges stay smooth.
  3. The result is saved as PNG or WebP, the formats that keep transparency.

  • Works best on logos, signatures, icons and product photos on a plain background. It removes a colour, not a “background”, so it can’t cut a person out of a busy photo.
  • The background colour is taken out of soft edge pixels, so no white fringe is left around the edges.
  • Metadata such as camera details and location is not copied to the new file.

Your image stays on your device

Questions

Are my images uploaded anywhere?

No. The image is read and processed by your own browser. Nothing is sent to our servers, so there is no copy of your image anywhere but your own device.

Parts of my logo disappeared. What do I do?

Lower the Tolerance, and keep “Only remove background touching the edges” ticked so white areas inside the logo are kept.

There’s still a faint haze or halo.

Raise the Tolerance a little. Scanned or photographed backgrounds are rarely pure white, so they need a higher setting than a digital file.
