Frequently Asked Questions
How does color removal work?
Color removal works by selecting one or more target colors from your image. Every pixel that matches those colors (within the tolerance you set) is made transparent. This is ideal for removing solid-colored backgrounds, green screens, or any unwanted color from graphics and photos.
What is the tolerance slider for?
The tolerance controls how closely a pixel must match your selected color to be removed. A low tolerance removes only exact color matches, while a higher tolerance also removes similar shades. This is useful for backgrounds with slight gradients, shadows, or compression artifacts.
Can I remove more than one color at a time?
Yes! Click 'Add Another Color' to select multiple target colors. Each color you add will be removed from the image simultaneously. This is helpful for images with multi-colored backgrounds or when you need to remove several distinct colors.
What types of images work best with color removal?
Color removal works best with images that have distinct, solid-colored areas — such as logos on white backgrounds, graphics with flat colors, green screen photos, product images on solid backgrounds, and icons. For complex or photographic backgrounds, you can also switch to the AI mode.
Can I process multiple images at once?
Yes! Upload as many images as you need. The color removal settings you choose apply to all images, making it easy to batch process hundreds of images with the same background color in one go.
What output formats are available?
Save as PNG or WebP to keep the transparent areas. You can also choose JPEG and pick a replacement background color instead of transparency. The output format selector appears in the settings panel.
Is my data private?
Absolutely. All processing happens locally in your browser using WebAssembly technology. Your images are never uploaded to any server — they stay on your device the entire time.
