Remove a white background from a JPG.

Drop the JPG; white is proposed when the corners are white. Raise the tolerance to catch off-white or cream, download the transparent PNG.

Yes. A tolerance of 5 to 15 percent usually covers cream, ivory and light gray. The mask preview shows which pixels will go.

Yes. Pick white and raise the tolerance to cover the paper's texture; the text and drawings stay while the paper becomes transparent.

Anti-aliasing in the JPG leaves half-white pixels along every edge. Turn on Smooth edges so they become partly transparent, and raise the tolerance a little.

Turn on Outer pixels only. Only white connected to the edges is removed; white text, logos and highlights inside the image stay.

5 to 10 percent for pure white; 10 to 20 for off-white or a photographed background. Fine-tune with the mask preview.

The tool reads the corners and proposes the background color; click anywhere on the photo, or type a hex code, to choose another. Tolerance widens the match to nearby shades: 5 to 10 percent for a clean white, 10 to 20 for off-white, cream or a photographed backdrop, more for a gradient.

Turn on Outer pixels only: then only the color connected to the edges of the frame is removed, and the same color inside the subject, white text on a white-background logo for instance, stays put. Smooth edges turns the half-and-half pixels along the boundary partly transparent, which removes the pale fringe JPEG leaves there.

No. The browser decodes the image and the tool writes a new file from its pixels, so camera EXIF, GPS position and text chunks in the original are not copied into the result. Keep the original file if you need them.
