How to remove the background from a picture
The quickest way to take the background out of a picture – on a phone or a computer, free and without installing anything. It takes about a minute.
Step by step
- Open the background remover. Go to erasebackground.app on your phone or computer. No app or account is needed.
- Choose your picture. Tap Choose a photo, drop the file on the page, or paste it with Ctrl+V.
- Wait a few seconds. The AI finds the person, product or object and takes the background out automatically.
- Fix details if needed. Open the Brush tab to erase leftovers or restore anything that was removed.
- Pick the new background. Keep it transparent, or choose white, a colour, a blur or one of your own photos.
- Download. PNG keeps a transparent background; JPG is best for white or coloured backgrounds.

Tips for a clean result

- Hair and fur come out best with a plain, contrasting background behind them.
- For small leftovers, the background eraser brush fixes them in seconds.
- Blurry or old photo? Unblur it first, then remove the background.
