SVG Background Remover

About SVG Background Removal

SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is a vector format that defines graphics using mathematical paths rather than pixels.

By removing the background from an SVG file, you can create transparent vector graphics that work perfectly on any colored background.

This online tool analyzes your SVG file structure and removes white or background elements while preserving the important foreground content. Unlike image editors that require manual selection, our automated process identifies and removes background elements directly from the SVG code.

How to Remove Backgrounds from SVG Files

1. Upload your SVG image by dragging and dropping or using the file browser
2. Choose your background removal method (automatic works best in most cases)
3. Select whether to preserve the original SVG size
4. Click the "Remove Background" button
5. Download your transparent SVG file

Background Removal Options

Removal Method

Choose how to identify and remove background elements:

1. Automatic Detection: Combines multiple techniques to identify and remove backgrounds (recommended for most SVGs)
2. Remove White Colors Only: Only removes elements filled with white color (#FFFFFF)
3. Remove Background Rectangles: Targets large rectangles that cover the entire canvas, typically used as backgrounds

Preserve Original SVG Size

Controls how the SVG dimensions are handled:

1. Enabled: Maintains the original width, height, and viewBox attributes
2. Disabled: Recalculates dimensions based on content after background removal
