FAQ

Does make image background transparent upload my photo?

No. The selected file is read and processed inside your browser. Closing or resetting the page releases its temporary preview URLs.

What happens to image metadata in the output?

Canvas-based exports normally omit EXIF and GPS blocks, so the new file generally contains pixels rather than the original camera metadata.

Can I use this tool on a phone?

Yes, for ordinary photos. Very large images can exceed a phone browser's memory, so reduce the source dimensions first if processing stops.

Which image formats work best?

PNG, JPEG, and WebP are the most reliable choices in current browsers. A browser must be able to decode the source before it can be processed.

Why can the downloaded file size change?

The browser creates a newly encoded file. Its dimensions, format, quality setting, transparency, and pixel complexity all affect the final byte size.
