Allow image access during setup, then use the right-click menu whenever you need a cutout. 01 ### Right-click a web image Use an image on a product page, in an online photo library or on another website you’re browsing. 02 ### Choose a ClickCutout action Open ClickCutout in the menu and choose Copy or Download. The extension removes the background automatically. 03 ### Paste it or save the file Paste the cutout into an editor that supports images, or find the saved file in your Downloads folder. ## From a web image to your design Watch a recorded example: open ClickCutout from the image’s right-click menu, copy the cutout, then paste it into Figma. The clip plays at its recorded speed. Processing time varies with the image and connection. Your browser cannot play this video. Right-click a web image, choose ClickCutout and Copy, then paste the result into your editor. Right-click the image → ClickCutout → copy → paste. Recorded example; menu labels can vary by version. ## Copy for a quick edit, download for a file you’ll reuse Choose how you want to use the result from the right-click menu. Both actions remove the background. ### Paste straight into your document Choose Copy when you’re adding an image to a slide or a draft. Paste it with Ctrl+V on Windows or ⌘V on Mac in an app that supports image pasting. There is no file to save and upload. ### Save images for your project or team Choose Download for product photos, shared assets or any image you’ll need again. Save a transparent PNG as your reusable original, or download WebP or JPEG for a specific destination. ## Prepare images for your shop, slides and social posts A product photo for your shop, a portrait for a presentation, or an image for your next post: remove the background in Chrome and finish the layout in your usual editor. ![An orange table lamp with its background removed](https://clickcutout.com/cutout-lamp.webp) Product image ### Prepare photos for your shop Isolate a product from its surroundings, then use it on a listing, a sale banner or a comparison page. Keep a transparent copy to reuse with different backgrounds. ![A portrait with its background removed](https://clickcutout.com/cutout-portrait.webp) Portrait ### Add portraits to your slides Place a speaker or team member beside your text, with the slide’s own color showing around them. Copy the PNG for a single slide or save it for the whole team. ![A terrier with its background removed](https://clickcutout.com/cutout-terrier.webp) Social posts ### Create posts with your own backgrounds Move a person, pet or object onto your own background. Add text, combine photos or try several layouts using the same cutout. ## Download the format your project needs Choose PNG, WebP or JPEG in the extension. ClickCutout remembers your choice for future downloads, including the background color you set for JPEG. - PNG preserves transparency for slides, documents and editing. - WebP combines transparency with compression for website images. - JPEG adds a solid background in the color you choose. **ClickCutout**Settings save automatically **Download as**Saved automatically **PNG**Transparent **WebP**Smaller file **JPEG**Solid background Copied images are PNGs: transparent with PNG or WebP selected, or on your chosen color with JPEG selected. ## Choose a background color for your JPEG With JPEG selected, choose white for a product listing or use a color from your brand. ClickCutout fills the background and saves your choice for the next image.

A 1600 × 1200 source stays 1600 × 1200 when copied or downloaded, so you can choose the size later in your editor. ### All three formats on every plan Free includes PNG, WebP and JPEG exports. Paid plans give you more images each month, with the same output dimensions and format choices. [Compare plans](https://clickcutout.com/en/pricing/) ## You choose which image gets processed The selected image is processed online and the cutout is sent back to Chrome. ClickCutout does not keep a copy of the original or the result on its servers. **Why Chrome asks for image access** Images can be hosted on a different site from the page you’re viewing. This permission lets ClickCutout fetch the image you right-click. It does not scan pages or collect the other images you browse.

Your monthly image allowance and any extra credits are linked to that account. Can I choose a white background? Yes. Select JPEG in the extension and choose white, or another solid color. Choose PNG or WebP when you want a transparent background instead. Can I upload photos from my computer here? Background removal happens through the Chrome extension, using images on web pages. This website has the guides, plans and account settings; it does not have an upload editor. ## Try ClickCutout on your next image Your free account includes 10 background removals every month.
