PNG Background Remover
The remover makes pixels transparent only when they match the chosen color closely and connect to the image border. Automatic detection finds the dominant edge color. You can also use the color control or sample the original image with the eyedropper.
With color picking enabled, click the background in the preview.
Pixel dimensions, aspect ratio and existing transparency are preserved. Processing stays on your device; the image is not uploaded.

How does it work?
Color tolerance ranges from 0 to 180 and starts at 48. Edge softness ranges from 0 to 100 and starts at 18. Soft transitions reduce background color spill while similar-colored regions enclosed inside the subject remain protected from the border flood fill.
