Remove the Background from Portraits

Turn any headshot, selfie, or profile photo into a clean cut-out, processed privately in your browser.

Whether you need a polished LinkedIn headshot, a profile picture without a distracting room behind you, or a neutral-background photo for an application, this tool isolates the person and removes everything else. The AI runs entirely on your device, so your face is never uploaded to a server.

Cards & invitations

Cut yourself or a family member out to drop into greeting cards, posters, and party invites.

Frequently asked questions

Does it handle fine hair and flyaways?

Yes. The model is trained on people and keeps most hair detail. Very wispy strands against a busy background may need a quick touch-up in the editor.

Will it work with glasses or hats?

It does. Glasses, hats, and accessories are kept as part of the subject.

Can I keep the background transparent?

Yes. The default download is a transparent PNG. You can also drop in a solid colour and save as a JPG.

Are group portraits supported?

It keeps the people it detects in the foreground, so couples and small groups work well.

Is my photo uploaded anywhere?

No. Everything happens inside your browser, so your portrait never leaves your device.
