How Clearpic works

Three steps. No signup. No downloads.

01

Upload your image

Drag a JPG, PNG or WEBP into the upload zone (up to 15 MB), or click to browse. Drop multiple files at once for batch processing.

02

AI removes the background

Your image is sent over HTTPS to a specialized AI segmentation service (Photoroom) that separates the subject from the background pixel-by-pixel.

03

Download your PNG

Get a full-resolution transparent PNG in about a second, or apply a studio backdrop before downloading. Batch users get a single ZIP.

Frequently asked questions

Is Clearpic really free?
Yes. Every core feature — background removal, studio backdrops, batch mode, manual editor — is free to use with no signup and no watermark. We may add paid tiers later, but the current tool stays free.
What image formats are supported?
Input: JPG, PNG and WEBP up to 15 MB per image. Output: transparent PNG (or PNG on a solid/gradient/photo background if you apply one before download).
How does the background removal actually work?
We send your image over HTTPS to Photoroom's AI segmentation API, which returns a transparent PNG. If Photoroom is unavailable, we fall back to a self-hosted open-source model (RMBG-1.4 via the rembg library). We do not train our own AI.
Do you store my uploaded images?
No. We process the image in memory and stream the result back to your browser. We do not save the original file, and we do not log its filename. Only a processing timestamp and file size are recorded for basic usage stats.
Can I use Clearpic on mobile?
Yes — the interface is fully responsive. Upload from your phone camera roll, wait a second, and download the transparent PNG straight to your device.
Can I use the results commercially?
Yes, but only for images you own the rights to. Uploading someone else's photo does not grant you rights to it. See our Terms & Conditions for details.
