Formats, file types, and size limits for Remove BG
A quick reference for what the tool accepts.
Supported formats
The tool works with common image formats.
| Format | MIME type | Status |
|---|---|---|
| JPEG | `image/jpeg` | Supported |
| PNG | `image/png` | Supported |
| WebP | `image/webp` | Supported |
Size limits
Each photo can be up to 20 MB. There is no daily cap on how many images you can edit, and since processing runs locally, the practical limit is your device's memory.
Input quality matters
The better the input, the cleaner the cut:
- A clear subject against a plain background gives the cleanest edges
- Higher-resolution photos keep fine details (hair, glasses) intact
- A well-lit subject with contrast against the background is easiest to separate
Getting the best results
- Choose a photo where your subject stands out from the background
- Use manual refine for the hardest edges rather than relying on AI alone
- Export the transparent PNG for use in other documents or designs
Verdict
Remove BG handles JPEG, PNG, and WebP up to 20 MB, with AI removal and manual refine for clean cut-outs.
