backgrounds
Logos on white. Product shots on white. Scans, screenshots, signatures, sketches. Drop the image and get it back with the background gone — off-white and near-white work too, not just pure #FFFFFF.
— What this does
Inkurs removes white backgrounds from any image and outputs a transparent PNG, handling pure white, off-white, cream, and light gray equally well. Free, no signup, no watermark. Both the upload and the result are deleted from our servers within 60 seconds of your download.

01 / 01 / The white problem
White
isn't always white.
A scan from a printer might be cream. A screenshot is usually pure #FFFFFF. A studio product shot drifts toward gray under cool lighting. Most background removers struggle with anything that isn't perfectly pure white. Inkurs treats all of these as white.
— Off-white
#FBF6EF
Scanned documents, paper backdrops, ivory product surfaces. The most common 'white' in real photography.
— Near-white gray
#E8E8E8
Overcast outdoor backdrops, cool studio whites that shift toward gray. Model picks it up as background.
02 / 02 / Where it's used
Five common
cases.
— 01
Logos delivered as JPG
Client sends logo as JPG on white. You need it transparent for use over a brand color. Drop it in, get a clean PNG with alpha channel intact.
— 02
Product shots on white seamless
Photographed on paper roll? The shot is almost-white, never #FFF. Inkurs removes the paper without eating into edges.
— 03
Scanned documents and signatures
Pulling a signature off a printed PDF, isolating a logo from a scanned brochure. Paper white is rarely true white.
— 04
White objects on white
White shirt on white wall, porcelain mug on white tablecloth. Inkurs uses texture and edge contrast, not just color.
— Frequently asked
Common questions.
What counts as a 'white' background?
Inkurs treats pure white #FFFFFF, off-white, cream, ivory, and light gray as white backgrounds and removes them cleanly. Most generic removers struggle with anything that isn't perfectly pure white; inkurs handles all common 'white' variations.
Will it work on white objects against white backgrounds?
Yes — inkurs uses texture and edge contrast, not just color difference. White ceramics on white seamless, white shirts against white walls, and similar cases that confuse simpler tools are handled reliably.
Why does the downloaded result still show a white rectangle?
Either your preview tool flattens transparent PNGs onto white for display, or the file was saved as JPG. JPG cannot store transparency — only PNG and WEBP can. Keep the file as PNG.
Is inkurs really free with no signup?
Inkurs is free for single-image use with no account, no email, no watermark, and no daily limit. Pro at $3/month adds bulk uploads and API access. The single-image tool stays free, forever.
Do you store or train on my uploaded images?
Inkurs deletes both the uploaded file and the processed output from its servers within 60 seconds of your download. We do not train AI models on user images, share data with advertisers, or retain copies. Privacy policy →
What image formats and sizes does inkurs accept?
Inkurs accepts PNG, JPG, WEBP, HEIC, and BMP files up to 20MB on the free tier. Output is a transparent PNG by default; WEBP is also available. Pro extends the file size cap and adds 8K output.
How does inkurs compare to removebg and Photoroom?
Inkurs gives full HD output free with no signup, while removebg gates HD behind a paid account ($9.99/mo) and Photoroom requires signup for most features ($12.99/mo). Inkurs Pro is $3/month flat. Detailed comparison →
