Background Remover

What it does: automatically removes the background from your images, leaving a clean cutout of the subject. You can keep the background transparent, fill it with a color, or drop in a replacement image.

How to use it

  1. Open Background Remover.
  2. Add images by dropping them onto the panel or clicking Choose images…. Supported types include PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF, TIFF, AVIF, and BMP. You can add a single image or a whole batch.
  3. Choose what to do with the removed Background:
    • Transparent PNG — the subject on a transparent background.
    • Solid color — fill the background with a color you pick (use the color swatch or type a hex value like #ffffff).
    • Replace with image — choose another image to use as the new background.
  4. (Single images) Choose what should happen when a cutout finishes: open the image, reveal it in File Explorer, or do nothing.
  5. (Optional) Click Preview first image to see a before/after of the first image before committing to the whole batch.
  6. Click Remove background to process everything. Each image becomes a job.

Output

Saved to the Background Remover subfolder. Cutout files are named after the original with a -nobg suffix (for example, photo-nobg.png).

Tips & notes

  • The preview is a fast, lower-resolution look at the result so you can check your color/replacement choice before running a large batch.
  • For batches, files are left in the output folder rather than opened automatically.
  • Very low-contrast subjects (where the subject blends into the background) are the hardest cases — see Troubleshooting.
