Remove the background from an ID photo

Remove the background from an ID/document photo — a clean cutout you can place on any required background color yourself, processed entirely in your browser.

Passports, visas, ID badges, and application forms often require a photo on a strictly specified background — white, light blue, or gray. If your photo was taken at home or on a phone and the background is uneven or the wrong color, upload it here: the tool removes the current background, leaving a transparent PNG with clean edges around your face and shoulders.

Note that the tool only removes the background — it doesn't automatically add the required color back in. Place the transparent result over the correct solid background in any image editor before printing it or uploading it to a form. Processing happens locally, so your photo never leaves your device.
