Remove a white background from an SVG.

Check for a vector rect first: open the SVG in the editor and look for fill="#fff" or fill="white" on a <rect>; delete it. For an embedded bitmap with a white background, drop the file here and pick white.

The page's CSS may add one, or the <svg> tag may carry style="background:white". Remove the attribute, or the rule that targets the SVG.

White text and shapes are content, not background. Delete only a root-level rect spanning the whole viewBox; keep inner white elements. Here, keep the tolerance low so only the flat background is cleared.

Give the white elements a stroke, stroke="#000000" stroke-width="1", or invert with CSS filter: invert(1); for a logo, keep a light and a dark version.

It includes the artboard by default. In Export As, SVG, turn off Use Artboards or make the artboard transparent before exporting.

Open it in a browser and inspect it: no background rect and no embedded images means it is transparent, and the page shows through.

The browser draws the SVG to pixels at the size it declares (its width and height, or its viewBox), and the tool works on those pixels. The result is a PNG, not an SVG: for a larger output, set a larger width and height on the SVG first, with the SVG editor.

No. The file is read and drawn by your browser, and the page makes no request with it. You can load the page, go offline and keep working; nothing is stored either, so reload and it is gone.

No. The "Remove a white background from an SVG" tool is free and opens without a sign-in, an account or an install.

No, it takes one file at a time. If you drop or choose several, only the first is used; run the tool again for the next one.

The edit is written as a PNG because PNG stores every pixel exactly, with a full alpha channel, so the result can be edited again without a second round of loss.

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.

No. The result has the same width and height in pixels as the source.
