How it works

Processing happens in your browser using WebGL and Canvas. Images never leave your device.
Drop your tattoo art
Drag & drop or click to upload. Large files (up to 12MB) work best for complex shading.
Built for tattoo artists who care about clean lines
Tattooify\'s background remover is tuned to respect deliberate line weight, gradients, and dotwork. We sample edge pixels, detect strong contours, and avoid clipping the subject so your artwork stays untouched while backgrounds vanish.
- Edge-aware masking avoids chewing into delicate shading.
- Works offline once loaded—your art never leaves the browser.
- Outputs full-resolution PNG files with transparent alpha channel.
Speed up your workflow
Stop exporting to Photoshop for basic cleanups. Knock out backgrounds in one click, keep your focus on clients, and feed assets straight into mockups or try-on previews.
Perfect for flash collections
Batch process designs and package them as transparent PNG sets. Artists and studios use Tattooify to prepare digital flash drops, licensing packs, and mood boards.
Client-ready deliverables
Give collectors clean files that layer neatly over skin previews or design decks. Transparent assets keep your presentation sharp and eliminate manual cleanup time.
Who uses this?
Artists preparing Instagram-ready mockups, studios sharing designs with clients, and collectors testing tattoos in the AI Try-On.
Best file types
High-resolution PNGs deliver the cleanest results. Scanned pencil or ink drawings work too—snap them against a bright backdrop for extra contrast.
Export options
Make as many transparent PNGs as you need, reuse them in Tattooify\'s generator, or drop them into Procreate and Photoshop for final polish.
FAQs about removing tattoo backgrounds
What image resolution works best?
Uploads above 1500px width keep the extractor sharp. Smaller images still work, but ultra-low resolution art might need a manual touch-up afterwards.
Will the remover erase paper texture from scans?
Yes—most scanner noise, paper grain, and faint pencil marks get cleared. For stubborn artifacts, run it once to get 90% there, then spot-clean in your editor of choice.
Can I edit the transparent PNG afterwards?
The PNG includes an alpha channel, so you can open it in Photoshop, Procreate, Illustrator, or Tattooify\'s other tools without extra prep.
