Cut out an image and keep the part you want.

Click a person or object in a photo, let Pasteup refine the edge, then clean up the cutout before placing it on a collage canvas.

Background removal as part of making something.

Pasteup is built for the moment after a background is gone: move the subject, layer it with other photos, add a background, and make a finished composition. The image-processing steps run locally in your browser.

Choose a subject

Click the object or person you want to keep instead of tracing around it by hand.

Refine the edge

Preview the refined result and erase small areas that should not remain.

Use the cutout

Add it as a movable layer, duplicate it, or export the completed canvas.

Questions

Does Pasteup upload my photo to a background-removal service?

The segmentation and compositing workflow runs locally in the browser. Phone intake uses an encrypted temporary transfer to the browser session.

Can I use the cutout by itself?

Yes. The result has transparency and can be added to the canvas or exported as a PNG.
