How do I make a photo background white?
To turn a photo background white, upload it to FixDoks's White Background tool. The AI model finds the subject and fills everything else with pure white, RGB 255 255 255, which most marketplaces require. Turn on the square canvas option, then download the result as JPG or PNG.

How to use Make Photo Background White
- Select or drop your product photos or portraits. Several at once is fine.
- Leave the colour on white. For marketplace listings, tick Square canvas with margin.
- Click Change background and check the preview with the before/after slider.
- Download each JPG, or all of them as a ZIP.
A clean white background without a studio
A pure white background makes products look professional and keeps the focus on the item. Most online marketplaces recommend or require a plain white main image, and many passport and visa photo rules ask for a white or near-white background too. FixDoks gets you there from an ordinary phone photo taken on a table or against a wall.
For product sellers
Marketplaces generally ask for the main image to have a pure white background (RGB 255, 255, 255) with the product filling most of the frame. This tool fills the background with exactly that white. Turn on Square canvas with margin to crop around the product, centre it on a square and leave a small even margin, with the product filling about 90% of the longer side. Always check your marketplace's current image guidelines for exact sizes.
For portraits and passport style photos
For a profile picture or a CV photo, a white background looks neat and neutral. For official passport or visa photos, the background is only one of the rules: head size, face position, expression and the exact pixel and KB size matter too. Use this tool to fix the background, then use a photo resizer or the govt form photo tools to meet the size rules.
Tips for better results
- Shoot in soft, even daylight to avoid strong shadows. The AI keeps shadows that touch the subject only when it thinks they belong to it.
- Keep some space between the product and the background so the edges are clear.
- Glass, transparent plastic and very shiny items are the hardest cases. Check the edges in the preview before downloading.
- White products on a white table are hard to separate. Put them on a darker surface when you take the photo.
JPG or PNG
For a white background, JPG gives a small file that every website accepts. PNG keeps every pixel exact, which helps if you plan to edit further. If you need a transparent background instead of white, switch the background option to Transparent or use the Remove Background tool.
Batch white backgrounds
Drop a whole set of product photos. They are processed one by one, then you can download them all as a ZIP. If you change a setting, like turning the square crop on or off, every finished photo updates without being processed again.
