How to add a white background to a photo

Upload your photo

Choose a JPG, PNG or WebP up to 4 MB. It works best when the product, person or pet stands out clearly from the background.

We remove the background

The tool cuts out the subject automatically and shows the result on white. Compare it with your original before you download.

Download it on white

Save a white-background PNG up to 1,440 px on the longest side. If you prefer, you can download it transparent instead.

What is a white-background photo for?

Your online store catalog

With the same white background on every photo, your products look consistent in your store and the focus stays on the product.

Marketplaces

Amazon asks for a pure white background on a product's main image, and other marketplaces have similar rules. Check each one's rules: this tool does not verify that your photo meets them.

Profiles and presentations

A portrait or an object on white fits easily into a profile, a résumé, a slide deck or a document.

Tips for a better white background

Shoot in good light and avoid harsh shadows on the subject.
Use a background that differs from the subject: a white product on a white table is harder to cut out.
Check hair, fur, glass and transparent objects. They may need manual touch-ups.

Frequently asked questions

Is the background pure white?

Yes. When you download with a white background, the image is filled with pure white (#FFFFFF, that is RGB 255, 255, 255) behind the cutout. No shadows or reflections are added. Switching between white and transparent does not use another removal.

Can I use a black, blue or other color background?

For now this tool downloads your image with a white or transparent background. If you need another color, download the transparent PNG and add the background you want in your image editor.

Is adding a white background here free?

Yes. It uses no HummingBytes credits and adds no watermark. Without an account, everyone on the same network shares 5 removals a day. With an account, you get 20 a day, shared with HummingBytes in ChatGPT. Free capacity is limited overall, so the tool can be temporarily unavailable even when you have removals left.

Does it work with every image?

It works best when one subject stands out clearly from the background. Hair, fur, busy backgrounds, glass and see-through objects may need manual touch-ups. Check the result before you download it; we can't guarantee a perfect cutout.

What can I upload, and what do I get?

On this page, upload one JPG, PNG or WebP image up to 4 MB and 16 megapixels. Animated images aren't supported. You get a PNG up to 1,440 pixels on its longest side, with the original proportions. Choose a transparent or white background before you download.

How many images can I process per day?

Each image we accept uses one removal. Retrying the same image in the same session and network, or the same signed-in account, doesn't use another. If an accepted image fails, it still counts, because processing may already have run. Limits reset at midnight UTC, shown in your local time. When you sign in, you switch to your account's daily removals; removals used without an account don't carry over.

What happens to my image?

We send your image to HummingBytes' processing service, hosted on Modal. Your upload and result are scheduled for deletion after 24 hours, and result links stop working then. Anyone who has a result link can open it until it expires, so share links with care. Our providers' backups may follow their own retention schedules. Images aren't added to your HummingBytes gallery.

Need more than a cutout?

With a paid plan, start from your product photo and create new white-background, studio and lifestyle images for your store and ads. This background remover doesn't use credits.
