How do I remove one color from an image?

Upload your image, then use the eyedropper to click the color you want gone or enter its hex code. Set the tolerance, and the tool erases that one color from the image and makes those pixels transparent, then you download a PNG.

How do I remove a specific color from an image?

Pick the exact shade with the eyedropper or a hex value. To remove a specific color from image files, keep the tolerance low so only that particular color is erased, or raise it to include nearby shades. Then export a transparent PNG.

How do I remove all of one color from an image?

The tool works globally, so it removes all of one color from an image at once. Choose the color, and every matching pixel across the whole picture is cleared to transparency, not just inside a selected area.

Can I remove a color and make it transparent?

Yes. Removing a color turns every matching pixel transparent, and the result is exported as a transparent PNG that keeps the alpha channel, so you can place it over any background.

Does it export a transparent PNG, and what formats are supported?

You can upload PNG, JPG, or WebP images, and the result always downloads as a transparent PNG. That makes it easy to reuse the cutout in design tools, product photos, and slides.

Can I remove black, white, or green from an image?

Yes. Black, white, and green are common examples. Pick any of them with the eyedropper or a hex code, and the tool erases that color from the image everywhere it appears, then makes it transparent.

How do I control the edges and how much of the color is removed?

Use the tolerance slider to decide how many similar shades of your chosen color are removed, and use feathering to smooth the edges. Remove color from image with feathering when you want clean, natural transitions instead of jagged outlines.

Can I remove a color from a PNG?

Yes. Remove color from png files just like JPG or WebP. Upload the PNG, pick the color to erase, and download a new transparent PNG with that color removed.

How do I remove a certain color from an image?

Pick the color with the eyedropper or enter its hex value, then set the tolerance for how close a match must be. That lets you remove a certain color from an image, including near-identical shades you might otherwise miss.

Can I remove color from a picture or photo?

Yes. Whether you call it a picture or a photo, the steps are the same: upload it, pick the color to remove, adjust tolerance and feathering, and export a transparent PNG. You can remove color from a picture or a photo in the same few clicks.

What's the difference between removing a color and removing the background?

Removing a color erases one shade you choose, wherever it appears, which is perfect for solid fills, logos, or a single backdrop color. Removing the background detects the main subject and cuts out everything behind it, regardless of color. If your background is many colors or a real scene, use the right Makify tool: our Image Background Remover. To clear on-image text instead, use the Image Text Remover.

What Is an Image Color Remover?

An image color remover is an online tool that finds every pixel of a chosen color in a picture and turns it transparent. Also called a color remover from image, or simply a color remover, it works differently from a background remover: you pick the exact color to erase, so you can clear one shade, a logo fill, a solid backdrop, or any particular color from a photo. Upload a PNG, JPG, or WebP, use the eyedropper or a hex code to select the color to remove, and export a clean transparent PNG. It runs in your browser, so you can remove color from image online without installing software (also spelled remove colour from image).

Product shots on a flat green backdrop are easy now. I pick the green, remove all of that one color from the image, and the whole background drops to transparency.

The tolerance slider is the part I love. I can remove color from image with feathering so the edges stay smooth instead of looking cut out with scissors.

I paste a hex code when I know the exact color, and it erases that particular color from the photo everywhere. Downloading a transparent PNG straight away saves me a trip to a heavy editor.
