Tips for a clean cut-out
- Contrast: a subject that stands out from the background (dark on light, or light on dark).
- Light: even light from the front or side; avoid strong backlight.
- Space: a little distance between the subject and the wall or objects behind it.
- Whole subject: keep hair, paws or product edges inside the frame and in focus.

What works well, and what's harder
We check every model change on 84 real photos of people, pets, products and objects. This is what those tests show, so you know what to expect.
Usually clean
- People and portraits, including groups and people in water. On computers, furniture touching a person, like a bed or a sofa, is usually dropped too.
- Pets with a clear outline against the background.
- Products on a plain surface, shot with soft light from the side.
- Logos, signatures and white backgrounds, with the color-based tools rather than the AI.
Harder, and what helps
- White objects on a white background, such as white mugs on a white shelf: the edge is hard to see. Shoot them on gray or a color.
- Flyaway hair, fur and thin parts like spokes or wires: edges can come out soft. Sharper edges and the Restore brush fix most of it.
- Busy scenes where it isn't clear what the subject is: the AI may keep extra objects. Crop closer to your subject first, or erase what you don't want.
- Glass and see-through objects keep their outline but usually come out solid, not see-through.
- Phones use a smaller model: animals, detailed objects and subjects against a busy background are noticeably less accurate than on a computer.
Background remover FAQ
Short answers to common questions.
Our dedicated tools give crisper edges on flat graphics and ink.
Logo toolIs TidyBG really free?
Yes. Removing backgrounds from single images is free and unlimited, at full resolution, with no watermark and no sign-up.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. The AI model runs inside your browser, so your images never leave your device. You can even turn off your internet connection after the model has loaded.
Which image formats are supported?
You can open JPG, PNG and WebP images, and iPhone HEIC photos in Safari, Chrome and Edge (on most devices; some browsers, such as Firefox, can't decode HEIC yet). Download a transparent PNG, or a JPG or WebP with a background color of your choice.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes, in recent versions of Chrome, Safari, Edge and Firefox. Phones use a smaller AI model: a photo takes about 10 seconds, and hair and fine details come out less precise than on a computer. For important photos, a computer gives the best result.
Why is the first image slower?
The AI model is downloaded the first time and saved in your browser. On phones it is about 5 MB. On computers it is about 200 MB, and the automatic second pass for sharper edges adds about 220 MB. Later images start right away.
