OVERVIEW

A closer look.

Separate a subject from its background and prepare a cutout for product listings, presentations or creative work. BGAway 2.0 supports individual images and batches, with transparent, white, black and studio-style background options.

Background removal in version 2.0 uses on-device AI. Photos are not uploaded to a background-removal server for this task. App Store purchases and other online services can still use an internet connection; see the official privacy policy for details.

The official App Store example shows the original photo and the background-removed subject side by side. The checkerboard represents transparency in the preview. Export as PNG when you want to preserve a transparent background.
