For most documents you do not need true background removal — you need to start with a near-white wall and clean it up. The tool below applies a white-balance correction and lets you set the background color to pure #FFFFFF on export.

If your background is already a different color (blue, gray, outdoor scene), use the built-in background-removal step. It runs entirely in your browser using a small ML model and replaces the background with white, blue, or gray.

For best results, photograph the subject at least one meter away from the wall to avoid hard shadows, and use diffuse front lighting.

FAQ

Will background removal work on busy backgrounds?

Yes for clear subject edges. Hair on dark backgrounds is the hardest case — try better front lighting first.

Is pure white #FFFFFF accepted everywhere?

It is accepted for US, UK, Schengen and most countries. A few (Canada) prefer light grey — check the country page.

Can I do this without uploading my photo?

Yes. Both color correction and background removal run in your browser.
