Drop a picture on a white background - a logo, a product shot, a scanned drawing, a sticker - and the white becomes transparent, shown on a checkerboard so you can see exactly what is gone. Tolerance sets how far from pure white a pixel may be and still count as background, which is what handles off-white scans and JPG noise. Soft edge sets how gradually the background fades out beyond that, so anti-aliased outlines, hair and soft shadows dissolve smoothly instead of leaving a jagged, pale rim. Download saves a PNG at the original size with real transparency.
Two things separate this from a plain "white pixel remover". First, every partly transparent edge pixel has its share of white subtracted back out before it is saved, the matte removal a compositor does, so a red logo's edge stays red rather than pink and the picture drops cleanly onto a dark background. Second, "Only from the edges" removes only the white that touches the border of the picture, so the white inside the object, the eyes in a portrait, the counters of letters, a highlight on a product, is kept. Switch it off when you really do want every white pixel gone, for example a pattern with white gaps.
The Background control chooses what replaces the white: transparency, or a colour of your own. Painting a colour is the quick way to change a white background to black, to a brand colour or to a pale grey for a listing photo, and it works in JPG as well as PNG. With transparency, choose PNG or WebP; JPG has no transparency and the page warns you if you pick it.
The picture never leaves your device. The background detection, the edge fade and the PNG encoding all run in your browser, which is why it works on unreleased product photos and client logos without a second thought.
Drop the picture, leave Transparent selected, and download the PNG. If some background remains, raise Tolerance; if the edges look hard, raise Soft edge.
Because "Only from the edges" is on and that white does not touch the picture's border. That is usually what you want, for eyes, text and highlights. Turn it off to remove every white pixel.
No. Tolerance covers off-white, cream and the noise JPG compression leaves in flat areas. Raise it until the background clears and lower it if light parts of the object start to disappear.
Two reasons: the fade at the edge is a soft ramp rather than a hard cut, and partly transparent pixels have their white removed, so the edge keeps the object's own colour instead of a pale halo.
No. Everything happens in your browser, on your own device.
