Remove the background from a sticker

Free, no signup, and your image never leaves your device.

Stickers need a cutout with a soft, accurate edge, because the transparency is the whole point — they get pasted onto backgrounds you do not control.

Why these settings

Automatic mode with a generous tolerance and the feather left on, so the edge blends rather than showing a hard pixel staircase against whatever it lands on.

Step by step

What to watch out for

Test the result on both a light and a dark background before using it. A halo invisible on white is obvious on black, and that is exactly where stickers end up.

Common questions

What is the best way to remove the background from a sticker?

Use the settings above as a starting point, then check the edges at full size. Most of the work is choosing the right mode; the sliders only fine-tune it.

Is a sticker uploaded to a server?

No. It is decoded and processed entirely in your browser, and nothing is sent anywhere. There is no server to send it to.

Is there a watermark or a limit?

Neither. No watermark is added, there is no cap on how many images you process, and no account is needed.
