Remove Background from Laptop Photo
An open laptop is two planes at an angle — screen and base — with a glowing display, a reflective lid and a desk full of clutter around it. bgclear isolates the machine for resale listings, tech blog headers and product mock-ups, keeping the hinge line and keyboard deck detail sharp.
Get the best result
Open at the angle you’ll use
The classic catalogue pose is the lid open about 110°, shot from 30° front-left or front-right. Cut out at the angle you need — you can’t rotate a 2D cutout into a different pose later.
Screen on or off — choose deliberately
Display on (with a clean wallpaper) hides glare and looks alive in mock-ups; display off shows smudges and mirror reflections that survive into the cutout. Wipe the screen either way.
Clear the desk edge under the laptop
Cables, notebooks and a coffee mug touching the laptop’s base can merge into its silhouette. Give the machine ten centimetres of clear desk on all sides before shooting.

FAQs
Does the gap between screen and base get handled?
Yes — the visible background in the hinge gap of a partially-open lid is cleared automatically.
Should the screen be on or off for resale photos?
On, with a neutral wallpaper — it proves the display works and hides reflections. Note whatever is on screen stays in the cutout.
Can I put my app’s screenshot on the laptop after cutting?
Yes — shoot square-on, cut the background, and overlay your screenshot onto the display in any editor for an instant device mock-up.
Stickers on the lid — kept or removed?
Kept — anything on the device surface is part of the subject. Remove physical stickers before shooting if you don’t want them in listings.
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.
