Remove the background from any photo, free and online

The StokX background remover cuts out any product, person or logo in one click and leaves it on a transparent background. It's free, works online in your browser and in the StokX app, and the cut-out is made on your own device, so your photo isn't uploaded. Save it as a PNG, or carry it straight onto a studio photo or a new background.

How to remove the background from a photo

  1. 01

    Pick a photo

    Open StokX, choose Remove Background and pick a photo from your library. A product on a table, a person in a doorway, a logo on paper: anything with a clear subject works.

  2. 02

    Let it cut out

    In one tap the subject is lifted out and set on a transparent page. Long-press to fine-tune the edges, then use the eraser to brush away any leftover bits of background.

  3. 03

    Save or keep going

    Tap Save to put the cut-out in Photos as a transparent PNG. Or keep going: make a studio photo, try an AI background, add a shadow or tap Put on a shirt.

Make any background transparent in one tap

One tap, no tracing

Products, people and logos are found and lifted out on their own. There's no outlining, no lasso and no brush work to start with. You begin from a clean cut-out and only step in where an edge needs it.

Made on your phone

The cut-out is made on the device itself, not on a server, which is why Remove Background is free and uses no coins. Run a whole batch of product photos through it and it costs nothing.

Edges you can fine-tune

Hair, sleeves and soft fabric are where cut-outs get tricky. Long-press to tune the edges, and use the eraser for touch-ups, like a strip of floor between two legs or a scrap of wall by a collar.

Clean logos for print

Remove the background from a logo, whether it's a screenshot, a scan or a photo of a sticker. You keep the mark alone on a transparent page, which is the version that prints cleanly on shirts and hats.

Saves as a transparent PNG

Save straight to Photos as a PNG with nothing behind the subject. Drop it into slides, a store banner, a sticker sheet or another app, and it sits on whatever you place under it.

Ready for the next step

From the same editor, turn the cut-out into a free studio photo, give it a Soft or Floor shadow, place it in an AI scene for 15 coins, or tap Put on a shirt to see it on a 3D garment.

Frequently asked questions

What is a background remover?

A background remover separates the subject of a photo from everything behind it and leaves the subject on a transparent background. In StokX it takes one tap: pick a photo of a product, a person or a logo, and the cut-out is ready to save as a PNG or to use in a studio photo, a new scene or a 3D shirt mockup.

Is the StokX background remover free?

Yes. Remove Background is free in the StokX app and uses no coins, because the cut-out is made on your phone rather than on a server. Coins pay for the AI tools that generate something new, such as AI Backgrounds at 15 coins a scene, and every new account starts with 15 free coins.

How do I make a background transparent?

Open StokX, choose Remove Background and pick your photo. The subject is cut out in one tap and the background turns transparent, shown as a gray checkerboard. Tidy the edges with a long-press or the eraser, then tap Save, and a transparent PNG lands in your Photos.

Can I remove the background from a logo?

Yes. Add a screenshot, scan or photo of the logo and the background behind it is removed, leaving just the artwork on a transparent page. Use the eraser for specks left inside letters. From there you can add text in the Logo Editor, or tap Put on a shirt to see the logo on a 3D garment.

Is StokX a free PNG maker?

For cut-outs, yes. Any photo you run through Remove Background can be saved as a transparent PNG at no cost, and you can add text, a shadow or a new size in the same editor first. It works as a transparent PNG maker that starts from an ordinary photo, so you don't need a clean file to begin with.

What if the cut-out misses a spot?

Fix it by hand. Long-press to tune the edges where hair, fabric or a busy background confused the cut-out, then switch to the eraser to brush away anything that shouldn't be there. You only touch the parts that need it; the rest of the cut-out stays exactly as it was.

Where can I use the background remover?

In your browser, in the free editor at stokx.online/editor: the cut-out runs on your own device, so your photo isn't uploaded. Your first download is free, then web Pro gives you unlimited downloads. It's also free in the StokX app for iPhone and iPad (iOS 16 or later) and Android.
