Remove the background from any image, right inside your collage.
A built-in one-click cutout tool inside the PasteCollage editor. Select an image on your canvas, remove the background, keep building. Available on Premium.
Built into the editor. Three clicks from photo to cutout.
The background remover lives inside PasteCollage — no separate tool to open, no exporting between apps. Sign in for a free account and it's already waiting for you in the image toolbar (5/day free, unlimited on Premium).
Get an image onto your canvas
Paste a URL with Ctrl+V, drag a file onto the canvas, or pick one from disk. JPG, PNG, WebP all work.
Select the image, click Remove background
The tool sits in the image toolbar after you sign in. Click it and the subject is detected and cut out in about a second — people, pets, products, plants. Free accounts get 5 removals per day; Premium is unlimited.
Keep building, then export
The cutout stays on your canvas as a layer. Arrange a collage around it, or download the cutout alone as a full-resolution transparent PNG.
The cutout stays on your canvas.
Most background removers hand you a PNG and say goodbye. PasteCollage cuts out the subject and leaves it sitting on a 43-preset collage canvas, ready to resize, rotate, and layer.
- Drag the subject anywhere, scale with a handle, rotate freely.
- Layer it over Premium textures — paper, fabric, marble, wood.
- Paste more URLs, cut those out too, compose the whole scene.
- Export the finished collage as full-resolution PNG or PDF.
Frequently asked questions
Everything we get asked about removing image backgrounds in PasteCollage.
Is the background remover free?
Yes, with a free account. Sign in with Google, Apple, or magic-link email and you get 5 background removals per day at no cost. PasteCollage Premium ($4.99/mo, $39.99/yr, or $79 lifetime) lifts that to unlimited removals plus the rest of the Premium feature set. The collage editor itself is also free without signing in.
Is it a standalone tool or part of the editor?
It's built into the PasteCollage editor. There's no separate page to visit and no separate file to download — select any image on your canvas, click Remove background in the image toolbar, and the cutout replaces the original layer in place.
How do I remove the background from an image?
Sign in (Google, Apple, or magic-link email), open the editor, and get an image onto your canvas — paste a URL, drag a file, or click Upload. Select the image layer and click Remove background. The subject is cut out in about a second and you can drag, scale, rotate, or export it as a transparent PNG.
What image formats are supported?
JPG, PNG, and WebP — both as file uploads and as pasted URLs. The output is a transparent PNG so you can drop the cutout onto any background.
Does it work on people, pets, and products?
Yes. The cutout model handles portraits, pets, products, food, plants, and most clear subjects. Very busy backgrounds or low-contrast edges may need a manual touch-up, but one-click coverage is the common case.
Can I try it before subscribing?
Yes. Sign in for a free account and you get 5 background removals per day, plus the rest of PasteCollage's free tier. Upgrade to Premium when you need unlimited — $4.99/month, $39.99/year, or $79 one-time lifetime access (capped at 200 early-bird seats).
