HOW TO

How to Remove a White Background from an Image

White backgrounds are the most common removal request — logos, product photos, and clipart all typically arrive on a white backdrop. Here's how to get the cleanest result:

• Set the background colour picker to pure white (#FFFFFF)
• Start with a tolerance of 30–50 to capture near-white edge pixels
• Enable "Refine Edges" — this feathers edge pixels for a natural result
• Use the Erase brush to remove any remaining white fringing
• Zoom in to 200–300% for precise edge work on logos and text
• Download your transparent PNG and use it on any background colour

PRO TIPS

Getting Perfect Edges on Complex Subjects

For subjects with fine detail — hair, fur, thin text, or soft shadows — the automatic removal gets you 90% of the way. Use the brush tools to finish:

• Erase brush: paint over remaining background areas to make them transparent
• Restore brush: bring back subject pixels accidentally removed
• Brush size: use large (60–100px) for big areas, small (3–15px) for detail
• Zoom controls: zoom to 300–400% for pixel-perfect edge work
• Undo: every brush stroke is undoable — experiment freely

Amazon requires product images to have a pure white background (#FFFFFF) with the product filling at least 85% of the image frame. Shopify and other platforms have similar requirements. Hiring a photo editor costs £50–£200 per session.

With the free background remover, you can process your own product photos in under a minute each. Shoot on any plain-coloured backdrop, upload, select the colour, and download a transparent PNG — then place it on a white canvas in any design tool or use it directly.

For the best results: shoot with consistent studio lighting, use a single flat-colour backdrop with no shadows, and enable Refine Edges for clean product silhouettes.
