Why do I need to save as PNG instead of JPG?

JPG files cannot store transparency and will always fill the empty area with a solid color. PNG keeps the background completely transparent so you can place the cutout over anything.

Can I make a logo or product photo transparent here?

No, this tool is designed for photos of people such as selfies, portraits, and team photos. Products and logos are not supported yet.

No. You can download transparent PNGs for free with no sign-up, no watermark, and no daily limit.

Does the photo get uploaded to a server?
