Tips for better results
- Good lighting helps: Well-lit subjects with distinct edges give cleaner AI detection.
- Avoid very busy backgrounds: A plain or blurred background is easier for AI to separate.
- High resolution works better: Larger images give more detail for edge detection — especially for hair and fur.
- PNG preserves transparency: Always download as PNG if you need a transparent background. JPG doesn't support transparency.
How to make the background white instead of transparent
After removing the background, you can place the transparent PNG on a white canvas in any design tool (Canva, Google Slides, even Microsoft Word). Or use the "change background" feature in Fourmeld to set a solid white, black, or custom color background instantly.

No. The output is the same resolution as your input — only the background pixels are removed. The subject of the image is unchanged.
Can I remove the background from a photo on my phone?
Yes — Fourmeld works on any smartphone browser. Open Safari or Chrome on your phone, go to fourmeld.com/image-tools, and upload from your camera roll.
What format is the output?
The result is a PNG file with a transparent background. PNG is the only format that supports transparency — JPG does not.
