Frequently asked questions
How do I remove white and make it transparent?
Upload your image and choose Remove White. Increase the Threshold until the white background disappears while your subject stays intact. Add a little Feather if edges look rough, then download your transparent PNG or WebP asset.
How do I remove black and make it transparent?
Upload your image and choose Remove Black. Adjust the Threshold until the dark areas become transparent. Use Feather to smooth the edges before downloading.
What does the Treshold slider do?
The Treshold slider controls how aggressively the tool decides which pixels become transparent and which stay visible. Lower valuesstrong preserve more soft detail; higher values remove more background and create a cleaner, harder edge.
What does the Feather slider do?
Softens the transition between transparent and visible areas. Use it to reduce harsh edges and make lines or shapes blend more naturally into the transparent background.
What does the Darken Lines slider do?
Makes the remaining dark lines stronger and more visible after background removal. Useful when your drawing or scan looks a bit faint and you want the lines to stand out more clearly.
PNG or WebP: Which one should I choose?
Choose PNG for the best compatibility with professional software like Photoshop, Illustrator, or Procreate. Choose WebP if you need a smaller file size for use on websites or social media.
Is my art safe (privacy)?
Your images stay on your device. Processing runs 100% locally in your browser, so removewhite.com never uploads your art to our servers. This privacy-first approach ensures your creative work remains yours alone.
About RemoveWhite.com
RemoveWhite.com is a dedicated tool designed by Els Edes to solve one specific problem: making all white in drawings transparent instantly.
Why use Remove White?
Most background removers only remove backgrounds and keep other whites. Also preservation of fine lines can be tweaked in Remove White. And as a bonus: white can be inverted into black, or the other way around. Remove White preserves all other colors.
