How it works

Three steps. No tutorial needed.

  1. 1

    Drop in a photo

    A JPG, PNG or WebP from your computer, your phone gallery or straight from the camera.

  2. 2

    We snip the background

    The cutting happens on your own device. Nothing is uploaded, so nobody else sees your photo.

  3. 3

    Stick it anywhere

    Keep it see-through, pick a color, or put your own picture behind it. Then save it.

Make it yours

One cutout. Any background you like.

Private by design

Your photos stay with you.

Many background removers send your photo to their servers. CutOutFree does not. The cutting tool is downloaded to your browser once, and from then on it does all the work right on your device.

  • Nothing uploaded

    The photo you open stays in your browser from start to finish.

  • Nothing stored

    We have no copy of your pictures, so there is nothing for us to keep or lose.

  • No account needed

Good to know

Questions, answered.

Is it really free?

Yes. You can cut out 10 images a day without an account, and 30 a day with a free one. There is no watermark and the download is full resolution.

Are my photos uploaded anywhere?

No. The background is removed inside your own browser, on your own device. Your photos are never sent to us or to anyone else.

Why does the first photo take longer?

The first time, your browser downloads the cutting tool (40 to 110 MB, depending on your device). It is saved on your device, so every photo after that starts right away.

Which pictures can I use?

JPG, PNG and WebP, including photos straight from a phone camera. Very large pictures are scaled down: to 4096 pixels on their longest side on a computer, and 2048 on a phone.

How do I save it to my phone gallery?

On Android, tap Download and the picture appears in your gallery. On iPhone and iPad, tap Save image, then choose “Save Image” in the menu that opens.

What is the difference between Fast and Detailed?

Fast is quick and right for most photos. Detailed takes longer and gives sharper edges around hair and fine details. Detailed needs a computer with an up-to-date browser; phones use a lighter version of the tool.

It takes a few seconds, and it never leaves your device.
