Frequently asked questions
Why does my JPG not stay transparent?
JPG can't store transparency, which is why the result is saved as PNG or WebP.
Is the Make Background Transparent free?
Yes. The Make Background Transparent is completely free with no sign-up, no watermarks, no daily limits and no premium tier.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. FileStripe processes your files locally in your web browser using JavaScript. Nothing is uploaded, so the Make Background Transparent is safe for private photos and confidential documents and even works offline once the page has loaded.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. The Make Background Transparent works in Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Samsung Internet on phones, tablets and computers. On a phone you can pick files from your photo library or files app and share the result straight to another app.
