This free online lasso tool lets you draw a selection of any shape directly on your picture. Trace around a person, a product, a logo or any object, and the tool turns your line into a live selection with marching ants. From there one click cuts the object out onto a transparent background, and another click erases it from the photo instead. It is the freeform selection you know from desktop photo editors, running entirely in your browser with nothing to install and no signup.
Open a picture, then press and drag to trace around the area you want. Release the mouse or lift your finger and the loop closes into a selection on its own. The dimmed part of the image is what falls outside your selection. Now choose Cut out to keep only the selected area, or Erase to remove it from the picture. You can keep going: select another object, erase another spot, and download when the picture looks right. Undo steps back through your edits, and the magnifier and fullscreen buttons on the image help with precise tracing.
New starts a fresh selection with every loop you draw. Switch to Add to build a selection from several loops, which is how you select two objects at once or a shape too fiddly for one pass. Subtract cuts holes out of the selection you already have, so you can select a person but not the gap between their arm and body, or refine an edge you overshot. Combined, the three modes handle any outline, no matter how irregular.
Cut out crops the result to the selection automatically, so you get a tight cutout instead of a huge image that is mostly empty. Everything outside your line becomes fully transparent in PNG and WebP downloads, which makes the cutout a ready to use sticker for collages, thumbnails, presentations and shop listings. If you pick JPG, the transparent area turns clean white instead, since JPG cannot store transparency. Erase works the other way around: the selected area is removed and the rest of the photo stays exactly as it was.
The preview you draw on is scaled to fit your screen, but every cut and every download is computed from your original pixels at full resolution. Select an object in a 12 megapixel photo and the cutout keeps that same sharpness, with a smooth anti-aliased edge along your line. Nothing is recompressed or resized behind your back.
Your picture never leaves your device. It is opened, selected, cut and saved entirely in your browser, with no upload, no server processing and no account. That makes the lasso tool safe for private photos, unreleased product shots and client work, and it keeps working even on a slow connection once the page has loaded.
Need a different cut? The classic Crop Image tool crops free hand or in fixed ratios like 1:1 and 16:9. Shape croppers cover circle, square, heart, oval, star, diamond, hexagon and triangle cutouts, the perspective crop straightens photographed documents. The full cropper collection shows them all side by side.
Open your picture, then press and drag to trace a line around the area you want. When you release, the loop closes into a selection. Press Cut out to keep only that area with a transparent background, or Erase to remove it from the picture, then download the result.
Trace around the object with the lasso, staying close to its edge. Use Add to include more loops and Subtract to remove parts you caught by mistake. Then press Cut out and the object is cropped to a tight cutout with everything outside your line transparent.
Yes, that is the default. PNG and WebP downloads keep everything outside your selection fully transparent with a smooth edge, ready to place over any design. JPG cannot store transparency, so there the background becomes white automatically.
The lasso is freehand: the selection follows exactly the line you draw, which keeps you in full control. For clean results, use the built in magnifier and fullscreen mode to trace precisely, and refine the selection with the Add and Subtract modes instead of redrawing it.
No. The selection is applied to your original image at full resolution, not to the on-screen preview. A cutout from a 4000 pixel wide photo keeps those original pixels, and PNG output is lossless.
No. Everything happens in your browser: the picture is opened locally, the selection is cut on your device and the result is saved straight back to it. Nothing is transmitted to any server.
