RemoveWhite is a browser-based tool for making black and near-black pixels transparent. Use Remove Black mode to remove dark backgrounds from logos, icons, illustrations, screenshots and graphics. No upload to any server, no AI, no software to install.

Black background gone, logo stays

Logos and graphics exported from design tools, video software or dark-themed editors often come out on a black background. That black box gets in the way when you want to place the image on a website, slide, document or colored background.

Drop the image into RemoveWhite, choose Remove Black, and adjust the Threshold until the dark background disappears. The logo or artwork stays. Export as transparent PNG or WebP.

This removes dark pixels, not objects

RemoveWhite does not detect subjects or backgrounds. It removes pixels that are close to black. If your subject also contains very dark areas, those pixels may become transparent too.

Use Threshold to fine-tune

Start low to remove only the darkest pixels. Increase the Threshold until the black background disappears without affecting the subject.

Edge Shrink helps with dark halos

Dark backgrounds can leave a faint fringe around shapes. Edge Shrink can reduce that edge.

How do I remove a black background from an image?
Drop your image into RemoveWhite and choose Remove Black. The tool makes black and near-black pixels transparent. Use the Threshold slider to control how much of the dark background is removed.
Can I use this for logos on a black background?
Yes. This is one of the most common uses. Drop your logo file, choose Remove Black, and download a transparent PNG you can place on any background.
What kind of images work best?
Logos, icons, illustrations and graphics exported on a black background. Also useful for white line art, screenshots and inverted scans.
What if my logo also contains black pixels?
RemoveWhite removes pixels by color value, not by position. If your logo has black or very dark details, those may also become transparent. Use a low Threshold setting to limit removal to only the darkest background pixels.
Can I remove a dark grey background too?
Yes. Increase the Threshold slider to include dark grey pixels. Start low and raise it gradually until the background disappears.
Can I use this for white line art?
Yes. Remove Black mode also works for white line drawings on a black background. You can download the result as a transparent PNG.
Can I use a photo from my phone?
Yes. Drop a JPG, PNG or HEIC from your camera roll. For best results, use an image with strong contrast between the subject and the dark background.
Is this an AI background remover?
No. RemoveWhite is pixel-based. It does not detect the subject or guess the background. It removes dark pixels according to the settings you choose.
Will my image be uploaded?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser. Your image is not uploaded to our servers.
What file do I get?
You can download PNG or WebP. Use PNG if you need broad compatibility or transparency.
Is there a subscription?
No. Day pass (€3.99, 24 hours) or year pass (€39.99, 365 days). No auto-renewal, ever.
