Expecting photo background removal
Complex subject extraction requires segmentation, not simple color or alpha cleanup.
Fix: Use this tool for transparent padding and flat-color cleanup; use a dedicated background remover for photos.

What is Image Cleaner
Written by Giorgos Kostas. Last reviewed:
Image Cleaner is a browser-side image cleanup workflow for small asset fixes before publishing.

Why use it
- Remove transparent padding around logos, icons, screenshots, and UI assets.
- Crop or resize one image without opening a full design app.
- Turn a simple flat background color transparent when the source artwork allows it.
- Export clean output as PNG, JPG, or WebP without uploading the image.
Features

How to use Image Cleaner

Example (before/after)
Padded source
logo.png with transparent whitespace around the artwork
Clean export
logo-clean.png or logo-clean.webp tightly fit to the visible artwork
Common errors
Exporting transparent artwork as JPG
JPEG has no alpha channel, so transparent pixels are flattened.
Fix: Choose PNG or WebP when transparency must be preserved.
FAQ
Can Image Cleaner remove padding around a transparent PNG?
Yes. Enable transparent padding removal and the export fits to the detected visible artwork.
Can it make a background transparent?
It can make a selected flat color transparent with a tolerance slider. It is not a full AI photo background remover.
Which formats can I export?
You can export PNG, JPG, or WebP. PNG and WebP can preserve transparency; JPG cannot.
