→Frequently asked questions
- How do I add an outline around a person or object?
- Upload your photo. The main subject is cut out automatically and a solid outline is drawn around its edges.
- Can I change the outline color and thickness?
- Yes. Pick any outline color and use the width slider to make it thinner or thicker.
- Is the background kept?
- By default the background is transparent, which is ideal for stickers. Turn on keep background to draw the outline over the original photo.
- What kinds of photos work best?
- Photos with one clear main subject, such as a person, pet, or product, give the cleanest results. The subject is found automatically, so no prompt or selection is needed.

- You can export as PNG, JPEG, WebP, TIFF, BMP, or HEIC.
- Is this tool free to use?
- Yes — completely free, no account needed. Your images are processed entirely in your browser and never uploaded to a server. Downloads have no watermarks.
