PNG, JPG or WebP: which file should you download?
PNG is the useful choice when transparency matters. JPG is suitable for a solid-color background, while WebP can be useful when the receiving tool supports it. ClearBG AI’s first download path is a transparent or solid-background PNG preview.
Why does a transparent image show a checkerboard?
The checkerboard is a preview convention for empty pixels. It is not part of the downloaded PNG. Use the white and black previews to spot a light halo or a missing edge before saving the result.
Frequently asked questions
Short answers about formats, privacy, output and edge quality.
How do I make a PNG background transparent?
Upload the image, run background removal, review the checkerboard preview, and download the transparent PNG.
Can I make a JPG transparent?
You can upload a JPG and export the cutout as a PNG, because JPG itself does not store transparency.
Why does my transparent PNG look white?
Some viewers place white behind transparent pixels. Check the file on a dark background or in an editor that shows alpha.
Can I use a transparent PNG on a colored website?
Yes. That is one of the main reasons to keep transparency: the subject can move across layouts without the original background showing through.
How large should the source image be?
Use the cleanest, largest source you have within the upload limit. A small or compressed source leaves less detail for hair, fur and thin edges.
