Portrait Background Remover

Remove the background from a portrait, check fine hair and shoulders, and save a transparent PNG. Your photo stays in your browser.

AI runs only when you click AI cutout.

Inspect hair gaps and shoulder edges at full size. Use a small Erase or Restore brush and Undo to correct a completed stroke.

Check soft edges on white and black before exporting. Feather softens a mask; it does not remove color spill or recover missing strands.

Choose Blur original background for a softer backdrop, or Transparent for a cutout. This tool does not validate ID-photo requirements.
