RemoveWhite is a browser-based tool for removing white, grey and off-white paper backgrounds from scanned images and phone photos. Use it to clean up drawings, signatures, handwritten notes, forms, stamps and line art, then download a transparent PNG or WebP. No upload to any server, no AI, no software to install.
Grey paper disappears, lines stay
Scans and phone photos often look white at first, but the background is usually grey, beige or uneven. When you place the image on a design, slide or website, that paper rectangle becomes visible.
RemoveWhite lets you remove those light paper pixels in your browser. Adjust Threshold for grey or off-white areas, use Edge Shrink for halos, and use Darken Lines if pencil or pen strokes look too faint.
Not OCR. Not AI document analysis. Pixel transparency for paper images.
Most scans and phone photos contain grey, beige or uneven paper pixels. Use Threshold to include more of those light background pixels.
If pencil or thin pen strokes are light, use Darken Lines before pushing Threshold too far.
Strong shadows or folds may be darker than the paper. A flatter photo with even light gives a cleaner transparent result.
Scans often leave a pale fringe around lines and handwriting. Edge Shrink can reduce that edge.
Use a flatbed scan, phone photo or document scanner output. PNG, JPG, WebP and HEIC all work.
Use Threshold for grey or off-white paper. Edge Shrink reduces halos. Darken Lines helps faint pencil and pen strokes.
Export as PNG or WebP. The paper background is gone and the lines, writing or artwork remain.
Remove white, grey or off-white paper from scanned line art and paper sketches.
Make a scanned signature transparent for PDFs, Word, Google Docs and email.
Extract handwriting from a scan or phone photo without keeping the paper rectangle.
Keep handwriting, stamps or marks from scanned forms while removing the paper background.
Clean up ink sketches, illustrations and hand-lettered work from paper.
Use a camera photo when you do not have a scanner. Even light gives the best result.
