SVG Background Remover · Transparent Vectors from Any Image
PolySVG SVG Background Remover turns an image into a transparent vector in two steps: during the conversion the dominant border color is detected and the background layer dropped; afterwards you open the editor and click away the leftover background paths to get a clean transparent SVG. It works for white-background logos, screenshots and sticker assets, is free with no registration, and the result can be exported as SVG or as a PNG with an alpha channel.

Highlights
Automatic border color detection
The engine analyzes the dominant tone along the image border, decides which layer is the background and removes it — white and solid backgrounds go in one click.
Manual cleanup as a fallback
Background paths left over after the automatic pass can be selected and deleted with a single click in the editor, leaving no dead corners.
Genuinely transparent vector output
The output SVG contains no background paths at all, so it layers cleanly on any color — not white pretending to be transparent.
Brush and eraser refinement
Paint back over subject edges that were removed by mistake and erase the extras with the mask-based eraser for full control.
Export in two formats
Export the result as a transparent SVG or a transparent PNG, for both web and document use.

Frequently asked questions
Which backgrounds are removed best?
White or solid backgrounds that clearly differ from the subject work best, such as a white-background logo or product photo. The engine judges the background by the border color, so when the subject and the background share a color, manual deletion is the better approach.
Can complex scenic backgrounds be removed automatically?
Automatic removal targets the dominant border color, so complex and varied backgrounds are hard to clear in one pass. Remove most of it automatically, then delete the remaining paths and tidy the edges with the eraser in the editor.
Is the resulting SVG really transparent?
Yes. The background paths are genuinely removed rather than filled with white, so the exported SVG looks right over any color, and the exported PNG keeps its alpha channel.
What if the edges of the subject were removed by mistake?
Paint the missing areas back in with the brush in the editor — the strokes are vectorized automatically. You can also undo the last step and reconvert with different settings.
Is the background remover free? Do my images get uploaded?
Completely free with no registration, and you can download the transparent SVG as soon as the background is removed.
