Put a photo on a white background
Short answer: open Cutova with the white background already selected, add your photo, and download it as a JPG or PNG. The AI removes the old background and fills it with pure white (#FFFFFF) at the size of your original, in your browser.
A white background makes a subject easy to read and fits almost any page, listing or document. Here is how to get a clean result, and what to check before you publish.

Step by step
Open the tool with white selected
Use the button on this page: Cutova opens with the white background already chosen.
Add your photo
Choose a file, drag it onto the page or paste it with Ctrl+V. You can add several photos at once.
Check the edges
Compare before and after. If a small area is missing or left over, fix it with the Restore and Erase brushes.
Frame it if needed
In Size, crop to the subject or pick a ready-made format: the product is centered with an even margin.
Download
Choose JPG for a light file accepted everywhere, or PNG for lossless quality. Download one image or all of them as a ZIP.
Why pure white matters
"White" in an image editor is not always exactly white. A slightly gray or warm background looks dirty next to the page around it, and some marketplaces reject it. Cutova fills the background with the exact value #FFFFFF (red, green and blue at 255), so it blends into a white page with no visible box.
When to use a white background
- Main product images for online stores and marketplaces
- Catalogs, price lists and printed flyers
- Team pages and staff directories, for a consistent look
- Profile pictures for professional networks
- ID-style photos, before checking the official rules for size and face position
Tips for a better result
- Start from a sharp photo where the subject is well separated from what is behind it.
- Add a soft drop shadow (Effects tab) so the product does not look like it is floating.
- Keep the same margin for a whole series: pick one format and apply it to every image.
- White objects on white need care: a light shadow or a thin outline helps to show their shape.
JPG or PNG?
With a white background, JPG is usually the best choice: the file is small and every platform accepts it. Choose PNG when you want no compression at all, for example before more editing. If you need transparency instead of white, see the guide to transparent PNGs.
Frequently asked questions
Is the white really #FFFFFF?
Yes. The White option fills the background with exactly #FFFFFF, at the full resolution of your photo. Light effects you add yourself (a shadow, for example) are drawn on top of it.
Does it work for marketplace product photos?
It produces what most marketplaces ask for: a pure white background and a centered product. Each platform has its own rules on size and margins, and they change, so check the current requirements before you upload.
Can I make an ID or passport photo with it?
You can replace the background with white, but official photos have strict rules (size, head position, lighting) that Cutova does not check. Use the result as a start and follow the official guidelines of your country.
Can I do many photos with the same white background?
Yes. Add several photos at once: each one gets the white background, and you can download them all in a single ZIP.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. The AI runs in your browser and the photo never leaves your device.
