A few things
you might wonder.

Less guesswork. More creating.

How do I remove an image background?

Upload a JPG, PNG, or WebP image, or choose one of the sample photos. BackdropZap detects the main subject and removes the background automatically. Then download a transparent PNG or pick a new background.

Is BackdropZap free?

The standard browser background remover and PNG downloads are free, with no watermark or account required. Optional HD processing and the developer API use one credit per successful image.

Are my images private?

Standard background removal takes place in your browser. Save to my images uploads to your private storage; choosing HD quality uploads your image for paid processing after you confirm the notice.

Which images work best?

A clearly visible subject with contrast against its background works best. Fine hair, glass, and very busy scenes may need a touch-up with the Erase and Restore brushes.

What file sizes can I use?

Use JPG, PNG, or WebP images up to 20 MB and 16 megapixels. Downloads preserve the uploaded image’s dimensions. Animated images and SVG files are not supported.

A fresh background. A fresh perspective.
