BGAway: Background Removal & Transparent PNG
Remove photo backgrounds on your iPhone. Keep a transparent PNG or choose a background for your cutout.
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.
