A PNG with a real alpha channel, so the empty area stays empty wherever you place it. Choose a colour first if you want that colour baked into the file instead.

Why does my transparent image show a black background?

Something along the way flattened the alpha channel — usually a JPG conversion, an older email client or a slide tool that does not support transparency. Export with a colour filled in for those destinations.

Does the cutout handle hair and fine edges?

It handles them well enough for most product and portrait work, but a fine edge is where any cutout shows its seams. Zoom to 200% along the boundary before you publish, particularly on hair, fur, mesh and wire.

Make your background transparent

Cut the product out and keep the background empty — a PNG you can drop onto anything.

How to put your product on a transparent background

Start from a photo

Click "Start from a photo" and pick a PNG or JPG of any size. The cutout runs in your browser, so the image is never uploaded to a server.

Keep the transparent fill

The background stays empty once it has been removed. Pick a colour from the swatches or the picker if you would rather have one filled in.

Download the result

Download a PNG with the background already composited in, ready for a listing, a deck or an ad.

When a transparent background is the right call

A transparent PNG is the version worth keeping. Any flat colour can be added later, but it cannot be taken back out, so the cutout with an empty background is the file that survives a rebrand, a new campaign palette or a designer who needs the product on their own layout.

Works for

Design handoffs, decks, banners, packaging mockups and anything where the background colour is decided later or changes per placement.

Watch out for

Transparency is not universal. Marketplaces usually want a filled background on the main image, JPG cannot hold an alpha channel at all, and some email clients render transparency as black — fill the colour in for those, and keep the PNG as the master.
