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 with Premium and it's already waiting for you in the image toolbar.
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
With a Premium subscription, the tool sits in the image toolbar. Click it and the subject is detected and cut out in about a second — people, pets, products, plants.
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?
No — it's a PasteCollage Premium feature and requires an account with an active Premium subscription. The collage editor itself is free to use without signing in; Premium unlocks the background remover along with unlimited saves, premium textures, full-resolution export, and no watermark.
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 with Premium, open the editor, and get an image onto your canvas (paste a URL, drag a file, or upload). Select the image layer, click Remove background, and the subject is cut out in about a second. You can then 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?
You can try the rest of PasteCollage for free — paste images, arrange them, export the result. The background remover itself is Premium-only. Lifetime access is a one-time $79 for early users.
