Already have a cut-out? Drop the transparent PNG here and the editor skips detection entirely and goes straight to choosing what sits behind it, starting with white.

Transparent pictures skip detection

When the file you open already has real transparency (more than one percent of its pixels not fully opaque), the editor uses that transparency as the cut-out. Nothing is detected again and nothing is downloaded, so a PNG from a designer, a sticker or an earlier export gets its background in seconds, with its edges exactly as they were.

If the picture has no transparency, for example an ordinary JPEG, the page says so and finds the subject automatically first, then applies the same background.

What you can put behind it

  • White or any color, with suggestions taken from the subject's own colors and your saved brand colors offered first.
  • Gradients, linear or radial, with up to three stops.
  • Studio sweeps, spotlights and pedestals you can adjust, plus a library of procedural backdrops.
  • Your own picture, placed with fill, fit, zoom, rotate and drag.
  • A soft shadow or reflection from the Finish stage, so the subject does not look pasted on.

Making it look settled

A cut-out made elsewhere can carry a faint rim from its old background. If you see one against the new backdrop, the Remove fringe slider in Finish takes the old color out of soft edges. Match automatically nudges the subject's brightness and warmth toward the new background, and the contrast guard warns when subject and backdrop are too close in tone to read well.

Compose lets you change the canvas to a square, a portrait post, a story or a product listing size and recenter the subject.

Saving

With a solid background, JPEG makes the smallest file and is chosen for you. PNG keeps every pixel exactly. Export renders at the full size of your picture and shows input and output size so you can confirm nothing was reduced.

Step by step

  1. Open your cut-out. A transparent PNG or WebP opens without detection.
  2. Choose a background. White is applied first; pick a color, studio or your own picture.
  3. Ground the subject. Add a soft shadow or reflection in Finish.
  4. Frame it. Pick a canvas size and recenter in Compose.
  5. Download. JPEG for a small file, PNG for exact pixels.

Questions people ask

Why was nothing detected when I opened my PNG?

Because it already had transparency. The editor uses the picture's own transparent areas as the cut-out, so its edges stay exactly as they were.

Can I add a background to a JPEG?

Yes. A JPEG has no transparency, so the subject is found automatically first, then the background is applied.

Can I use my own photo as the background?

Yes. Choose Image in the Background stage and pick a picture; it stays on your device like everything else.

There is a light outline around my cut-out. How do I remove it?

Raise Remove fringe in the Finish stage, which takes the old background's color out of soft edges, and check the result on the new background.
