Remove a background and review the edges before saving
Cutout.Free separates a subject from its background in a browser. It is intended for portraits, product shots, pets and everyday objects. Background removal and PNG or JPG downloads are free without registration, credits or a daily allowance.
Prepare and finish one image
Upload a JPEG, PNG or WebP, compare the cutout with the original, and inspect thin edges such as hair or handles. Keep a transparent background for PNG export, or add a colour or another image before saving. JPG uses the chosen backdrop because it cannot retain transparency.
The input limit is 20 MB and 24 megapixels. Before uploading, the browser reduces large files to fit a 4096-pixel long edge, 16 megapixels and approximately 3 MB. Downloads therefore may have fewer pixels than the original. HEIC, GIF, SVG and PDF are not accepted.
Editing and privacy limits
The online editor handles one upload at a time and has no mask brush or feathering control. A cleaner source or tighter crop may help when an edge is missed. ID-photo presets assist framing; they do not certify acceptance by an issuing authority.
Images are uploaded to a processing service. Results are private rather than published in a gallery, and a signed browser cookie associates them with the current session. The privacy notice leaves temporary-file retention to the operator's configured storage lifecycle; it does not give a fixed deletion deadline. Local batch tools in the separate Windows app are outside this web listing.
