Remove the background from any photo in one tap. Snippa is a fast, private AI background remover and photo cutout tool that erases the background from your photos right on your device β no upload, no account, no waiting. Whether you want a transparent PNG for a logo, a clean product photo on a white background, a fresh profile picture, or a fun sticker, Snippa makes it simple. Pick a photo and the on-device AI instantly separates the subject from the background. Then refine the edges by hand and drop in a new background: a solid color, a smooth gradient, a soft blur, or another photo. WHY YOU'LL LOVE CUTOUT - One-tap background removal powered by on-device AI segmentation - Erase and restore brush to fine-tune tricky edges and stray pixels - Adjustable brush size and hardness for precise, natural cutouts - Replace the background with transparent, solid color, gradient, blur, or a photo - Resize, reposition and add a drop shadow to the subject - Export a transparent PNG or a flattened JPG in high quality - Pinch to zoom and pan for pixel-perfect detail work - Undo and redo every change, with a gallery of saved projects PERFECT FOR - Online sellers making clean product photos on a white background - Creators and influencers designing thumbnails, posts and stories - Anyone making a transparent background logo or watermark - Building stickers and cutouts for chats and social media - Profile pictures for social, work and dating apps - Designers who need a quick photo cutout without a desktop app REMOVE BACKGROUND FROM A PHOTO, INSTANTLY The auto cutout uses on-device machine learning to detect people and subjects, so you get a clean cut in seconds. If a photo is tricky, switch to the manual erase brush to remove leftover background, or the restore brush to bring back parts of the subject you want to keep. The transparent background maker shows a checkerboard so you always know exactly what is transparent before you export. CHANGE THE BACKGROUND, NOT THE PHOTO Swap the background for any solid color, a two-color gradient, a blurred version of the original photo, or a completely new image from your library. Move and scale the subject, add a soft drop shadow, and you have a polished composite that looks professionally made β all in a few taps. PRIVATE AND OFFLINE Snippa runs entirely on your device. Your photos never leave your phone and are never uploaded to a server. There is no sign-up and no account β just open the app and start cutting out backgrounds right away. It is the private background eraser that keeps your images yours. EXPORT AND SHARE ANYWHERE Save your work as a high-quality transparent PNG or a smaller JPG and share it anywhere β messages, social apps, online stores, presentations, or design tools. Re-open any saved project from your gallery whenever you want to keep editing, duplicate it, or export a new size. Download Snippa and remove the background from any photo, make a transparent PNG, or create the perfect product photo on white β fast, private and easy to use.
