White-to-transparent conversion

Remove a white background without flattening the edges.

A simple colour-delete tool often leaves white halos around soft or anti-aliased edges. ClearCut predicts the foreground boundary instead, then gives you erase and restore brushes for areas that need a human decision.

Practical workflow

Clean the white edge, not the product.

01

Use Best Detail

Choose the finer edge pass for pale products, fabric, hair, or soft shadows.

02

Preview on contrast

Switch the preview background to black or a saturated custom colour to expose white fringes.

03

Refine lightly

Erase leftover backdrop and restore product pixels with a small, soft brush.

Field guide

Why white halos appear

Pixels on a photographed edge often contain a mixture of subject colour and reflected background light. Making every near-white pixel transparent can damage light products while still leaving a fringe around darker ones.

An AI matte estimates partial transparency at the boundary. For the cleanest reuse, inspect the result against both a light and dark preview before downloading it.

Good to know

Questions about this workflow.

Will this remove an off-white wall?

Usually. The model separates subjects by visual structure rather than deleting one exact colour.

How do I spot a white halo?

Preview the result on black or another contrasting colour, then zoom around the outline.

Can I restore a white part of the product?

Yes. Open Refine edges and use Restore to paint the original pixels back.
