Free background remover that keeps hair and lace edges soft
CutoutBG AI is a free online background remover for photos, product images, logos, signatures and illustrations: upload a JPG/PNG/WebP up to 25MB and 36 megapixels, the AI cuts the subject out, and you download a transparent PNG or drop the subject onto white, a color, a blur or another photo. The technical detail that matters: soft edges — flyaway hair, fur, loose lace — are preserved as semi-transparent pixels instead of hard clip lines, which is exactly where cheap removers fail.
No sign-up for the free tier; $9.99-ish paid plans for volume.
Who it's for: e-commerce sellers cutting product shots, designers prepping logos and signatures for layouts, and anyone whose previous remover ate the hair in every portrait. The edge-quality claim is trivially testable — run your frizziest-haired portrait through it and zoom in. That one test tells you whether this is a tool or a toy.
