Make Color Transparent without erasing the details inside

Upload or paste the image, click the flat background color, and inspect the pink mask. Keep edge-connected mode for most assets, adjust tolerance slowly, correct mistakes with the keep and erase brushes, then confirm and download the transparent PNG.

Use edge-connected background mode. It removes white or near-white matches that can be reached from the outside edge while preserving enclosed white areas, such as eyes, lettering, holes, and highlights. Paint the keep mask over any remaining false positive.

Tolerance controls how different a pixel may be from the chosen color and still count as a match. Zero targets the exact RGB value. Higher values include nearby shades from anti-aliasing, scans, or compression, but can also reach subject colors, so watch the mask.

JPG compression often turns one visually white area into many slightly different near-white pixels, especially around sharp edges. Raise tolerance a little at a time until those pixels enter the mask. A clean PNG usually needs less tolerance.

Edge-connected mode starts from matching pixels along the image border and follows neighboring matches, protecting isolated same-color details inside the subject. All matching pixels removes every match in the full image, whether connected to the edge or not.

Yes. The source can be JPG, PNG, or static WebP. The tool creates alpha transparency and downloads a PNG. PNG supports a full alpha channel, while standard JPEG has no alpha channel and cannot store the transparent result.

The checkerboard is a viewing aid, not part of the file. It makes empty pixels visible. Switch to black and white too: contrasting backgrounds reveal pale halos, dark fringes, or small pieces that should have been kept.

Choose Illustration for ordinary flat artwork when a very light one-pixel cleanup can reduce a background halo. Choose Pixel art for sprites, low-resolution icons, and hard-edged graphics; it changes only the selected alpha values and keeps square edges crisp.

No. This is a solid-color background remover, not intelligent subject segmentation. Hair, glass, smoke, translucent objects, patterned scenes, and uneven photographic backgrounds need a subject-aware editor and careful manual masking.
