Frequently asked questions

How do I remove the white background from my drawing?

Simply upload your image and choose White → transparent. Move the Threshold slider until the paper disappears. Use Feathering if the edges look rough, then download your transparent PNG asset.

How do I remove a black background?

Upload your image and choose Black → transparent. Adjust the Threshold and Feather to isolate your lines, then download.

How do I invert my drawing (white lines on black)?

1) Remove the background and download. 2) Upload the result again and use Swap black ↔ white.

What settings work best for pencil sketches?

Pencil lines are light. Move the Threshold until the lines become clear. Use Feather to smooth small gaps and create a clean digital version.

PNG or WebP: Which one should I choose?

Choose PNG for the best compatibility with software like Photoshop or Procreate. Choose WebP for a smaller file size on websites.

Is my art safe (privacy)?

Can I use this for commercial work?
