5 years ago, you had to spend hours with a stylus in Photoshop to remove the background from an image. In 2025, everything works quickly and easily – go to Piper, upload a photo and click a button. In a couple of seconds we get a PNG with a transparent background: avatar, sticker, cover element or product card for Amazon. In this article, let’s understand how to remove backgrounds online for free with Piper.
Piper Background Remover is powered by RemBG neural network. This means that the model doesn’t just crop along the contour, but understands where the object is and where the background is.
It preserves important details: hair, shadows, halftones. Even a complex background with a lot of small elements, disheveled long hair or soft transitions can be handled by neural network. The output — neat neckline with no torn edges or artifacts.
We give you 1000 background removals for free — just for registration. All new users get 1$ to their account, and that’s enough for a thousand images.
The feature can be built into any product. Want to add background removal to your Telegram bot, mobile app, or directly to your website? Piper has an open API, and integration takes a couple minutes – and you already have a full-fledged neural network for background removal.
Why use it?
You have to remove backgrounds more often than you think. Someone makes stickers for Telegram, someone designs product cards for marketplaces, someone designs a cover for a release or presentation.
Often you need to quickly cut out an object and put it on another background so that it is free of dirt and artifacts.
The service from Piper allows you to remove backgrounds online for free and do it in seconds without distracting from the task. Upload it — get it — paste it. That’s it.
How to use Piper
Go straight to Playground to remove the background. Upload an image and in a couple of seconds you get the result with a transparent background. The interface is very simple: the upload button and the source image on the left, and the finished images on the right.
JPEG, PNG and WEBP formats are supported.
Everything works directly in the browser. Just upload — receive — download. Done.
How to use API
If you want to integrate background removal into your website, Telegram bot, or any other product, Piper has an open API. It’s simple: you send an image and receive a picture without a background in return.
Here’s what you need to do:
Go to Piper and choose Remove Background or other pipeline.
Tap «API» on the top panel.
Copy the endpoint and generate your access key.
Send an image using the POST method and receive a ready-made PNG in response.
In addition to background removal, you can connect any other pipeline: more than 15 ready-made solutions are already available. These include image generation on FLUX or ChatGPT, face processing, NSFW detector, and much more. All of this is available in the Piper project library and can also be easily connected via API.
You can read more about connecting the API in this article.
