Blur, remove, or replace any background

BG Doctor separates the person from everything behind them, then lets you decide what happens to the background — soften it, drop it out completely, or swap in a clean one. The subject's face, hair, and clothing are copied straight from your original photo, so they stay exactly as sharp as you shot them.

STEP 1

Drop in your photo. Everything happens on your device.

STEP 2

Pick a mode and drag the sliders until it looks right.

STEP 3

Download the result. No watermark, no signup.

Made for headshots

If an agent or casting director said your headshot is strong but the background is too busy, you usually don't need a reshoot. A heavier background blur — or a clean neutral replacement — puts the attention back on your face while keeping the photographer's lighting and your expression intact.

Frequently asked questions

Is my photo uploaded anywhere?

No. The whole tool runs inside your browser. Your photo is never sent to a server and never leaves your computer. The first time you use it, a small image model downloads to your browser and is cached, so later visits are instant and even work offline.

Will it blur or soften my face?

No. Only the background is changed. The subject is composited back from your original image, pixel for pixel, so the person stays as sharp as the original.

Can I get a transparent PNG?

Yes — choose Remove and download a PNG with a fully transparent background.

There's a faint dark edge after removing the background.

That's a thin rim of the old background blended into the subject's outline. Raise the Edge cleanup slider a notch or two to trim it away.
