Transparent background maker
Cut the background out of a photo and save what is left as a PNG with a genuinely transparent background — not a white rectangle that only looks right against a white page. It runs inside this browser tab, so the picture is never uploaded anywhere.
Free, no account, no watermark, and no limit on how many pictures you put through it.
A cut-out, not a crop.
A transparent background
The background is cut away and the file keeps an alpha channel, so the removed area stays transparent when you drop it onto a slide, a product page or another image.
Or a white one
If a white background is what you actually need, that is the same run and the same click — one switch decides which you get.
The subject edge
The cut follows the subject rather than cropping a box around it, so hair, handles and thin edges survive instead of being squared off.
Several pictures at once, with no cap.
Select a batch of photos, set the background option once, and it is applied to every one of them. The results come back as a single ZIP. There is no limit on how many you run and no queue, because nothing is waiting on a server — they are processed one after another on your own machine.
This is usually the part that costs money elsewhere: cutting out one picture is free on most sites, and cutting out forty is not.
There is no server to pay for.
A site that removes backgrounds on a server has to receive your picture, store it while it works, and pay for the machine that does the work. That bill is what a subscription or a per-image credit covers, and the copy of your picture is what its privacy policy is about.
OpenPixels has neither, because the model runs in your browser. There is nothing to charge you for and no copy to make promises about. The first run downloads the model once, with a progress bar; after that it works with no network connection at all.
Four steps, no sign-up.
- Open the app and drop in a photo.
- Under Background, choose Remove it — or Make it white.
- Press Apply changes.
- Save the result. It comes down as a PNG with the transparency intact.
For a batch, use Several at once at the bottom of the app, pick your photos, and download the ZIP when it finishes.
What it will not do.
There is no colour picker. You can take the background away or make it white, and anything else — a brand colour, a gradient, a different photograph behind the subject — has to happen in whatever editor you use next. A transparent PNG is the right thing to hand that editor, which is what this produces.
It also will not invent detail that was never in the picture. If the subject and the background are the same colour and the edge is not visible to you either, the cut will follow that same ambiguity.
Before you open it.
Is this free?
Yes, entirely. No paid tier, no account, no trial, no watermark, and no limit on how many pictures you cut out.
Is my picture uploaded?
No. The background is removed inside your browser tab, and the picture never leaves your device — there is no server in OpenPixels that accepts an image. The full detail is in the privacy policy.
Does the saved file keep the transparent background?
Yes. Cut-outs are saved as PNG, which carries an alpha channel, so the area you removed stays transparent instead of turning white.
Can I do several at once?
Yes — select several photos, apply the same setting to all of them, and download the results as one ZIP. There is no limit on how many.
Can I pick a different background colour?
You can remove it entirely or make it white. There is no colour picker, so any other colour has to be added in whatever editor you use next.
Do I need an account?
No. Every feature works with no account and no sign-in.
Open it and drop in a photo.
The same app also enlarges a photo up to 8×, clears noise and JPEG artefacts, rebuilds faces that have gone soft, and colourises a black-and-white photograph — all on your own device. See what else it does.
