RemoveWhite is a browser-based tool for making white and near-white pixels transparent. Drop an image with a white background, remove the white pixels, and download a transparent PNG or WebP. It works well for logos, drawings, signatures, scans, icons and line art. No upload to any server, no AI, no software to install.

White pixels become transparent

A white background is not the same as transparency. Many PNGs, scans and exported images still contain actual white pixels. That is why they show a white box when you place them on a colored background.

RemoveWhite turns those white or near-white pixels into real transparency. Your dark lines, shapes and details stay visible, while the white background disappears. You can place the result on any background, including photos.

Not AI subject detection. Not a cutout tool. Pixel transparency.

This removes white pixels, not objects

RemoveWhite does not detect subjects or cut out people. It removes pixels that are white or close to white. Works best when the subject is darker than the background.

Use Threshold for off-white backgrounds

Scans and photos often have grey, beige or uneven paper. Increase Threshold until the background disappears without affecting the subject.

Edge tools help with halos

Use Feather and Edge Shrink to reduce faint white edges around lines and shapes.

Best for clear contrast

The tool works best when the subject is noticeably darker than the white or light background.

How do I remove white from an image?
Drop your image into RemoveWhite. The tool makes white and near-white pixels transparent in your browser and lets you download the result as a transparent PNG or WebP.
How do I remove white pixels from an image?
Use RemoveWhite to target pixels that are white or close to white. Adjust the Threshold slider if some off-white pixels remain, then download the transparent result.
Does it work with off-white backgrounds?
Yes. Use the Threshold slider to remove more or fewer light pixels. This helps with scans, photos, grey paper, beige paper and uneven white backgrounds.
Can I remove the white box around a logo?
Yes. If the logo has a white background, RemoveWhite can turn the white pixels transparent so the logo can sit on colored or transparent backgrounds.
Can I make a scanned signature transparent?
Yes. Drop a scan or photo of your signature and remove the white paper background. For more specific tips, see the signature page.
Will my image be uploaded to your servers?
No. Your image stays in your browser. RemoveWhite processes the pixels locally on your device.
Is this an AI background remover?
No. RemoveWhite does not detect people, objects or subjects. It makes white or near-white pixels transparent based on brightness and color values.
What is the difference between RemoveWhite and a background remover?
A background remover usually uses AI to detect a subject and cut it out. RemoveWhite is pixel-based: it removes white or near-white pixels and leaves the rest of the image alone.
Can I download a transparent PNG?
Yes. You can export the result as a transparent PNG or WebP. PNG is usually the safest choice for documents, design tools and print.
Is there a subscription?
No. Day pass (€3.99, 24 hours) or year pass (€39.99, 365 days). No auto-renewal, ever.
