Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of images work best?

Product photos shot on a white or light, evenly-lit background with a soft drop shadow work best, since the tool detects shadows as bright, low-saturation pixels.

What does the Shadow Threshold control?

It sets the brightness level above which pixels are treated as shadow and removed. Raising it removes more of the shadow but can start affecting light parts of the actual subject.

Can I get a transparent background instead of white?

Yes. Check the Transparent (PNG) option instead of picking a background color, and the shadow area will become transparent instead of filled in.

Is the shadow remover free?

Yes, completely free with no signup and no limits.

Is my image uploaded to a server?

No. Shadow detection and removal happen entirely in your browser using the Canvas API. Your image is never uploaded anywhere.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does shadow removal work?

The tool analyses pixel brightness and uses the threshold setting to determine which areas are shadow. Pixels below the threshold are made transparent or white.

Can I remove shadows from photos with complex backgrounds?

This tool works best on product photos shot against a white or light background. Complex or dark backgrounds make it hard to distinguish shadow from background.

What threshold setting should I use?

Start at the default, then increase until the shadow disappears. Stop before the product edges start to clip -- the feathering slider softens any hard edges.

Will this tool remove shadows from portrait photos?

It works best on product shots. For portrait retouching, a dedicated photo editor with dodge/burn tools gives more precise control.
