White-background product shots — compliant on upload

Marketplaces require a pure white main image, and reshooting is slow and expensive. Upload a product photo and PixMiller cuts out the subject onto a clean white background — crisp edges, no leftover halo — ready for every platform's main-image rules.

  • Meets Amazon subject-ratio and pure-white rules
  • Batch-process hundreds of SKUs
  • Export and list — no extra retouching

Design assets and poster bases

Drop the transparent PNG straight into Photoshop, Canva or any design tool — it becomes a reusable design asset instantly, sparing you the repetitive outlining work. It works just as well on scanned signatures, logos and AI-generated art from tools like Midjourney — one pass turns any of them into a clean transparent cutout.

  • Transparent output — layers composite directly
  • Signatures, logos and AI art come out clean too
  • Lossless HD, ready for print and large format
Next: turn your cutout into stylized art with Portrait Stylizer →

Frequently asked questions

Is the background remover free?

Yes — uploading and previewing are completely free. The free tier downloads a watermarked preview; a watermark-free HD download uses credits (1 image = 1 credit).

Which image formats and sizes are supported?

JPG, PNG, WebP, BMP and HEIC/HEIF (iPhone photos) — up to 20MB per image and 5000px on the longest edge. HEIC and HEIF files convert automatically, so you can drop iPhone shots straight in.

Can I remove the background from an iPhone HEIC or HEIF photo?

Yes. PixMiller reads Apple's HEIC and HEIF formats natively — just upload the iPhone photo and we convert it on the fly, then export a transparent PNG. No need to convert HEIC to JPG first.

What is the maximum output resolution?

Output matches your source resolution, up to 4096 × 4096, with zero quality loss.

Can I use the results commercially?

Yes. You own the rights to the results and can freely use them for e-commerce listings, ad campaigns and social media.

How do I make a signature background transparent?

Upload a photo or scan of your signature and PixMiller strips the paper background automatically — no tracing needed. You get a clean transparent PNG ready to drop into contracts, PDFs and email signatures.

Does it work on logos and AI-generated images?

Yes. PixMiller turns logos into transparent PNGs and cleanly removes backgrounds from AI-generated art — including images from Midjourney, DALL·E and Stable Diffusion — while keeping fine edges intact.

Can I remove a white background and make it transparent?

Yes. Upload the image and PixMiller lifts the subject off the white background automatically — you get a transparent PNG in seconds. It works just as well on solid colors, gradients and busy photo backgrounds.
