Profile photos

Move a portrait onto a cleaner background for a personal site, forum profile or online bio.

Professional headshots

Prepare a cutout for a CV, speaker bio, team page or business presentation.

Creator profiles

Reuse a subject image in channel art, thumbnails, media kits and social graphics.

Presentations

Place a person beside a title, chart or slide content without carrying the original room or scenery.

Personal projects

Use a portrait in invitations, collages, event graphics and other lightweight designs.

Brand layouts

Bring a portrait into an existing brand background or colour system in your preferred editor.

A focused workflow

A clean cutout, without an editing-suite detour.

Upload, inspect the result and export. The workspace keeps the controls close to the image instead of surrounding it with extra steps.

Local image processing

The selected photo is processed in your browser. The AI runtime and model files are fetched separately when needed.

Before / after comparison

Switch between the source and the cutout, or use Split view to check the boundary in context.

Zoom into details

Inspect hair, shoulders, small accessories and product edges before saving the result.

Transparent PNG output

Download a PNG with transparency preserved and the source image dimensions retained.

No account or queue

Open the studio directly and work without a sign-up flow or server-side processing queue.

One image, one workspace

Keep the task focused: process a photo, review the output and then start another image.

Answers about portrait cutouts, transparent profile images and what to review before exporting.

Is ZeroBG only for faces?

No. It is designed for general foregrounds, including people, groups and products. This page focuses on portrait-specific source tips.

Will every hair strand be perfect?

No model can guarantee perfect edges on every photo. Use sharp originals and review fine detail before publishing.

Can I use the transparent portrait commercially?

You are responsible for rights to the source image and the way you use the exported file; see the Terms page.
