Remove the background from an image

To remove the background from an image, upload it, choose transparent or plain white, and press Remove the background. A matting model finds the subject and its exact edge, hair and fur included, in a few seconds, and you download a full-size PNG with the subject's own pixels untouched. Make the cutout with any DreamBench plan.

An AI background remover labels every pixel of a photo as subject or background and gives the pixels along the edge a partial transparency, so hair and soft edges fade instead of ending in a hard line. Nothing is redrawn: the subject keeps its pixels and the rest becomes see-through or white.

No. Every run needs a DreamBench plan; you create an account on the way, and the button shows the price in credits before you press it. A run that fails is refunded. The plan covers every tool on the site and the video models.

Upload it and keep Transparent: the white goes like any other background, and you download a PNG. White or very pale parts of the subject against the white can go with it, so check the edges at full size before you use it.

A PNG. It is the format that keeps the transparent background; a JPG has no transparency and would fill it with a color. The cutout downloads as a PNG, which Canva, PowerPoint, Word and most design tools open as it is.

No. Each run takes one photo and a few seconds, so a set of photos is one run each; there is no batch upload and no API. Every cutout is matted on its own, so check each edge before you use it.

Usually the subject and the background are close in color, or the photo is small or blurred, so the model can't tell where one ends. A pale fringe is the old background along a soft edge: check it at full size on a dark color. In a busy scene the model keeps what it reads as the subject: crop to the one you mean and run it again.

Yes. It runs a matting model that estimates a soft edge for every pixel, so hair, fur, lace and glass keep their fine detail instead of a hard cut-out line. A subject that stands out from its background gives the cleanest edge.

Yes, and no. A picture larger than 2048 pixels on its long edge is scaled to 2048 before the run, so the result is at most 2048 pixels on its long edge; a smaller photo keeps its size. Nothing inside the subject is redrawn or sharpened, and the PNG is lossless.

Yes, often. On an iPhone, touch and hold the subject in Photos to lift it off its background. Canva's background remover does it inside its editor, on its paid plans; Photoshop does it by hand; Word and PowerPoint can make one color see-through. This page runs in the browser on any phone, tablet or computer, nothing to install, and gives the full-size PNG with a per-pixel matte for hair.

remove.bg and Canva's background remover are editors built around the cutout; remove.bg is a Canva brand. This tool runs an open-source matting model and gives a full-size PNG up to 2048 pixels on its long edge, on transparency or pure white, as part of a plan that also covers DreamBench's video models.

Yes, a screenshot is a PNG like any other upload. It cuts cleanly when there is one clear subject, a logo or a product on a page. An interface full of text and boxes has no subject the model can pick: crop to the part you want first.

No. The PNG you download carries no watermark, caption or border: it is your subject's own pixels on transparency or pure white, nothing added. A matting model generates no pixels, so there is no invisible mark either.

Not on this page: there is no erase or restore brush, and the matte is the model's. To fix an edge by hand, open the PNG in Photoshop, Procreate or GIMP, where the subject is already on its own layer, and paint the mask there.

No. It works on one still photo at a time and has no video engine for this job. You can cut out a still, then press Animate this cutout to open the composer with it as a reference image, where DreamBench's video models make a new clip.

Yes, and it is one of the most common uses. Upload the product shot, pick plain white for a marketplace listing or transparent for your own design, and download the PNG. Nothing inside the product is redrawn, so its label reads exactly as it did in your photo.

Each run uses 7 credits from your DreamBench plan. Starter, $9.99 a month, includes 1,100 credits a month, about 157 runs of the AI background remover, plus AI video. A run that fails is refunded.

Yes: a free account and a DreamBench plan. The tools are part of every plan, from Starter at $9.99 a month.

A photo up to 40 megabytes: JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC or another format your browser opens. A photo straight from a phone is fine, an iPhone's HEIC included: the page scales a large picture down to 2048 pixels on its long edge before the run, so the result is never larger than the page says.

Yes. Under the DreamBench Terms you may use what a tool makes for personal and commercial purposes, including advertising, monetized content and work for clients, with no separate commercial-use upgrade. The Terms don't guarantee copyright in a result or clear another person's rights in your upload, so only use photos you have the rights to.

No. DreamBench doesn't use your prompts, uploads or videos to train or fine-tune AI models, and any future training program would be opt-in.

It stays in your browser until you make a result. Then it is used to make that result and nothing else, and removed from the tool's storage after seven days along with the result. A result you keep in your library stays as long as you keep it.
