Remove the white background and make it transparent

Image editor

Make any photo square, remove one-colour backgrounds and borders, or crop images and animated GIFs into shapes (heart, star, circle…). Everything is processed in your browser: nothing is uploaded to any server.

Borderless image

Automatic two-step process: the image is made square by padding it with a white border and, at the same time, a version with that border removed (transparent) is generated. Only the colour touching the edges is removed; the inside is untouched even if it contains white.

No image loaded.

#ffffff

If some border remains, raise the tolerance; if it eats into the image, lower it.

Square image

Turn a rectangular image into a square without distorting it: blurred background, solid colour, stretched or cropped. Ideal for xat avatars, profiles and thumbnails.

Preview

The preview is the real result at the chosen output size. Rescaling uses step-down reduction so it does not look blurry or pixelated.

Upload a logo, signature, drawing or screenshot with a white background and turn it into a transparent PNG. Pick the colour to remove, the tolerance, and whether to erase only what touches the edge (keeping inner whites) or all of the colour. Works with animated GIFs too.

Frequently asked questions

How do I remove the white background from a logo?+

Upload the image, keep white selected (or pick another colour with the eyedropper), adjust tolerance and press Apply. Download the transparent PNG.

Does it erase whites inside the drawing?+

By default no: only the colour connected to the edges is removed. Untick “edge only” to remove all of the colour.

Is it good for signatures?+

Yes, that is the typical use: scan the signature, remove the white background and get a transparent PNG for documents.
