Remove Background from Group Photo
Group shots multiply every challenge: five heads of hair, gaps between each pair of shoulders, and people at slightly different distances from the camera. bgclear keeps everyone in frame as a single subject, clears the background from each gap, and is most often used for team pages, society posters and farewell collages.

Gaps between people are the work
Each pair of adjacent people creates a background window — a five-person group can have eight or more. Verify these are cleared; they’re what makes a group cutout look professional.
Line everyone at the same depth
If the back row stands two metres behind the front, they’re slightly out of focus and their edges go soft. Keep rows tight — a single arm’s length — so everyone’s edge is equally sharp.
Wide group shots mean small faces
A 12-person photo from far away leaves few pixels per face, and edge quality drops with resolution. Shoot as close as framing allows and upload the original full-size file (up to 10MB).

FAQs
How many people can it handle?
There’s no fixed limit — everyone in frame is kept. Edge quality depends on resolution per person, so closer shots cut cleaner than distant wide ones.
Someone in the back row looks soft-edged — why?
They were slightly out of focus in the original. Depth-of-field blur in the source becomes soft edges in the cutout; line people at the same distance when shooting.
Can I remove one person from the group?
No — the tool removes background, not people. Crop the photo before uploading if someone shouldn’t be in it.
Best background for a team page composite?
A solid brand colour or light grey works best — it keeps all the edge detail visible and looks consistent across pages.
Is bgclear free to use?
Yes — free, unlimited, with no signup and no watermark on downloads.
Which image formats can I upload?
JPG, PNG and WebP files up to 10MB. Output is an HD transparent PNG.
