Make the background transparent
Open a JPEG or PNG, run the local cut, download a checkerboard PNG you can drop into slides, listings, or design files.

Transparent means PNG with alpha - not a white JPEG
JPEG cannot hold transparency. nobg writes a 32-bit PNG so the background is actually empty, not painted white. If you flatten to JPEG later, the holes fill with a color. Keep PNG when you need to stack the subject on other art.
Checkerboard is a preview, not a pattern in the file
The studio shows a checkerboard so you can see holes. The saved PNG has alpha, not gray squares.
Semi-transparent edges
Hair, glass, and motion blur should not be a 1-bit cookie cut. The 8-bit alpha is there for those fringes. Inspect in Rubylith if a halo remains.
From JPG, screenshot, or HEIC
Any supported input becomes PNG on the way out. iPhone HEIC is decoded in the tab.
JPEG in, transparent PNG out
Do not screenshot the checkerboard. Download the file.
Open the photo
Drop or paste. Screenshots work; camera files work better.
Isolate the subject
The model builds an alpha mask. Restore anything it treated as background by mistake.
Save PNG
Leave the backdrop on transparent. Download. Place in Figma, PowerPoint, or a shop theme.
Inspect cutout edges
Slide the divider to compare the original photo with the cutout.
Drag or use left/right arrow keys to inspect edge quality
Frequently asked questions
Why is my “transparent” file still white?▼
You probably saved or re-exported as JPEG, or the viewer sits on a white page. Open the PNG in an editor that shows alpha.
Can I put it on a color instead?▼
Yes. Studio can stage solid colors or a gradient. For a true cutout, leave transparent.
Does this replace Photoshop’s layer mask?▼
For one-click isolation, yes for many photos. For print-critical hair, you may still refine in a pixel editor. nobg’s brushes cover a lot of that.
WebP with alpha?▼
Input WebP is fine. Output is PNG so every tool downstream can open it.
