Remove the background from a product photo, privately
Most background removers upload your photo to a server. SnapStudio runs a small segmentation model directly in your browser, so your product photos never leave your device.

Image requirements (checked October 2026)
- Amazon main images need a pure white (255, 255, 255) background, with the product filling 85% of the frame. [1]
- Shopify recommends 2048 × 2048 px for square product images. [2]
- Etsy recommends listing photos at least 2000 px wide and tall. [3]
- eBay asks for at least 500 × 500 px and recommends about 1600 × 1600. [4]
Platforms change their rules; always confirm with the official source below before you list.
How to make one with SnapStudio
- Take the photo in soft, even light (a window on an overcast day is ideal). Fill most of the frame with the product and keep the whole item in shot.
- Open SnapStudio and drop the photo in. The background is removed in your browser; the image is never uploaded to a server.
- Pick a background (pure white #FFFFFF, any solid colour, or a soft gradient) and toggle the subtle shadow and lighting cleanup.
- Tick the export sizes you need and download the JPGs (plus a transparent PNG cutout) individually or as a ZIP.
For the cleanest cutout, shoot against a plain background that contrasts with your product (a dark shoe on a light wall, a white mug on a darker surface).
FAQ
Is my photo uploaded?
No. The model (about 4.5 MB) downloads once and runs locally in your browser.
Can I get a transparent PNG?
Yes. Every run includes a transparent PNG cutout alongside the JPG exports.
What products work best?
Solid objects with clear edges: shoes, bottles, boxes, electronics, jewellery on contrast. Fine hair, fur and glass are harder for any automatic tool.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes, in a modern mobile browser. The first run is slower while the model downloads.
How many can I do free?
3 a day with a small watermark.
