Cut out the main subject ([SUBJECT]) of this photo and place it on a plain transparent background. Keep every edge clean, including fine hair or fur, and remove any leftover halo or colour fringe.

Keep the subject exactly as it is without changing colours, lighting or proportions.

Save as PNG so the transparency is preserved for use in other designs.

Your photo goes to the AI app you choose, never to PromptUp.

What you will get

Your subject cut cleanly out of its background, edges crisp including any fine hair or fur, with no leftover halo or colour fringe, ready to save as a PNG with transparency.

Common mistake

A white or coloured outline is left around the subject.

Fix: Add “remove all halo and colour fringe, edges clean on both light and dark backgrounds”, and test it on a dark colour.

Also watch for
  • Hair or fur is chopped off. Say “keep every strand of hair and fur, soft natural edges”, and start with a photo where the subject contrasts with the background.
  • The tool gives a chequered pattern drawn into the picture. Download as a PNG and open it in a design tool to check that the transparency is real, not a painted pattern.
Try a variation: add a soft shadow

Ask for the same cutout with a soft ground shadow on a separate layer, so you can drop it onto any background and keep it grounded.

Still not right? Reply with this

Keep the cutout. Place it on a solid dark colour and a solid light colour to check the edges at both extremes.
