RemoveWhite is a browser-based tool for making black and near-black pixels transparent. Use it to remove dark backgrounds, black boxes and black pixels from white line art, logos, screenshots, inverted scans and dark-background graphics. No upload to any server, no AI, no software to install.

Black pixels become transparency

Sometimes the part you want to remove is not white, but black: a black box around a graphic, a dark export, an inverted scan, or white line art sitting on a black background.

RemoveWhite can switch to Remove Black mode and make those black or near-black pixels transparent. The lighter lines and shapes stay visible, while the dark background disappears.

This removes dark pixels, not objects

RemoveWhite does not detect subjects. It removes pixels that are black or close to black.

Use Threshold carefully

Start low if your subject also contains dark details. Increase only until the black background disappears.

Best for clear contrast

This works best when the useful part is lighter than the black or dark background.

01
Drop your image

Use an image with a black or near-black background. PNG, JPG, WebP and HEIC all work.

02
Switch to Remove Black

Choose Remove Black and adjust the Threshold slider to control which dark pixels become transparent.

03
Download a transparent PNG

Export as PNG or WebP. The black pixels are gone and the lighter shapes and lines remain.

White line art

Remove the black background and keep the white line work.

Logos and icons

Remove black boxes around logos, icons and exported graphics.

Screenshots

Make dark UI exports or code screenshots transparent where the background is black.

Inverted scans

Clean up scans or photos where the useful lines are light and the background is dark.

Video overlays

Create transparent white graphics for dark video backgrounds and titles.

Web graphics

Prepare dark-background graphics for websites, slides and social posts.

How do I make black pixels transparent?
Drop your image into RemoveWhite and choose Remove Black. The tool makes black and near-black pixels transparent in your browser.
What images work best?
Images where the useful part is lighter than the black or dark background: white line art, logos on black, screenshots and inverted scans.
What if my subject also has dark areas?
RemoveWhite removes pixels by color value, not by position. Use a low Threshold setting to limit removal to only the darkest pixels.
Can I remove a dark grey background?
Yes. Increase the Threshold slider to include dark grey pixels. Start low and raise gradually.
Is this an AI background remover?
No. RemoveWhite is pixel-based. It removes dark color values and does not guess the subject.
Will my image be uploaded?
No. Everything runs in your browser. Your image is not uploaded to our servers.
Is there a subscription?
No. Day pass (€3.99, 24 hours) or year pass (€39.99, 365 days). No auto-renewal, ever.

Draw on paper. Then use the toolkit.
