Give the subject some contrast
A dark object against a dark wall can be hard to separate. Pick a backdrop that looks different from your subject, especially around hair, straps and light-colored edges.

From photo to white bg
Make your photo background white in three steps
01
Upload your photo
JPG, PNG, WebP or iPhone HEIC. Big files are resized automatically.
02
The AI removes the background in your browser
Your photo isn't uploaded anywhere. The first time, your browser downloads the AI model (about 220 MB). Processing time varies by device, browser and photo.
03
Choose a size and download
Your photo is placed on pure white, centered, and saved as JPG or PNG.

Tips for a cleaner white background
Use soft, even light
Window light or a diffused lamp helps avoid harsh shadows. Keep the whole object in focus so fine edges remain visible.
Fill the frame when you shoot
Leave a little space around the subject, but avoid photographing it from too far away. A small subject in a large image does not have enough detail for a large export. We do not enlarge small photos.
Finish with the touch-up brush
Erase any stand or leftover shadow. If the AI removed a detail you wanted, use Restore to bring it back. The white background photo editor includes Undo and Redo.
No app to install
Make the background white on iPhone or Android
Open this page in a compatible mobile browser and choose a photo. Quick processing needs enough device memory; browser support and download controls vary.
Use Wi-Fi for the first run
The first use downloads an AI model of about 220 MB. Your browser caches it for later use, although clearing browser storage can remove the cache. Keep the tab open while processing.
Review and save
On supported devices, review the edges and touch up with your finger. Choose JPG for a white background or PNG for white or transparent output, then save the downloaded file using your browser's download controls.
If your device cannot run the model, try Chrome or Edge on a computer. High quality is included with Pro and skips the model download.
Skip a step
Already have a transparent PNG?
Upload your cutout and put it straight onto a white canvas. Transparent PNGs bypass background-removal inference. Choose a preset, adjust the subject size and export your white background photo.
Choose the right output
White or transparent?
White for a finished photo
A white background gives your image a solid canvas for a listing, document or presentation. Choose JPG or PNG. For an empty canvas, download a plain white background image.
Transparent for a flexible cutout
Transparency lets you place the subject over another design later. Export as PNG to preserve transparent pixels. JPG does not support transparency.

Making a background white: FAQ
Can I make a photo background white for free?
Yes. Single-photo background removal, touch-ups and JPG or PNG exports up to 2200 px are free and unlimited. You do not need an account for local processing.
How do I make a background white without Photoshop?
Choose a photo, let the browser remove its background, then pick a size and download it on white. Use the Erase and Restore brushes to correct the result before exporting.
Is the background really pure white?
The white canvas is #FFFFFF: RGB 255, 255, 255. A pure white check flags background issues before export. Fine subject edges can still include blended pixels, so inspect them and brush away any leftover background.
Can I use this for a passport or ID photo?
You can create a white backdrop, but that alone does not make an official ID photo. Check your issuing authority’s rules for background color, image size, head position, expression and permitted edits.
What if part of the subject disappears?
Choose Restore and brush over the missing detail to bring pixels back from the original photo. Use Undo if you need to reverse your last brush stroke.
