Frequently asked questions
How is this different from AI background removal?
This tool removes one specific color, like the white of a scanned logo. It is faster and more precise for plain backgrounds; for photos with a complex background, use the AI background remover tool.
Only the background or all the white?
By default, only the color connected to the image edges is removed, preserving the white inside the drawing, like the centers of letters. Uncheck the option to remove the color across the whole image.
Why download as PNG?
JPG does not store transparency. The result is always a PNG to keep the background transparent.
