Background Remover

Free the illustration from its plain background.

Keep the artwork you need and remove the plain colour around it. Protect enclosed details, adjust the edges and make a transparent PNG ready to use in another design.

Background Remover with its real controls and complete result

See your next idea take shape.

Start with the surrounding colour

The tool detects a background shade when you import the image. Pick another point on the artwork if needed, then adjust how closely similar background shades are matched.

Protect enclosed details

Keep the outside-in removal option on when light details inside the illustration should remain. Compare the result carefully if the subject touches the background in several places.

Refine the edge

Soften a hard cut edge when appropriate, erase leftover fragments or restore details from the original. Undo and the original reset help you compare the effect of a change.

Make a clean working illustration

Import the artwork

Choose the image you want to prepare and check the detected background shade. Use a clear plain-background source for the most controllable result.

Remove and refine

Adjust the match, remove the background and inspect the delicate parts. Use erase and restore for local changes rather than making every setting more aggressive.

Keep a transparent version

Download the PNG or save it to your Library. Use the prepared illustration in Pattern Creator, Stamp Studio or another composition.

Check the edge on the colour you intend to use.

A pale fringe can be hard to see against white and obvious against a dark background. Place the prepared illustration on a contrasting ground in the next design step, and check for missing fine marks or leftover background before making the final repeat.

Take your work into the next step.
