Remove Background from Mobile Phone Photo
Phone photos for resale or mock-ups have a specific set of traps: glossy screens mirror the ceiling lights, black bezels disappear against dark tables, and the device is all straight edges that show any wobble. bgclear cuts handsets cleanly for marketplace listings, accessory shop images and app-screenshot mock-ups.
Get the best result
Kill the screen reflection before shooting
A ceiling-light streak across the display stays in the cutout — it’s on the product. Tilt the phone a few degrees or shoot with the screen on (showing your wallpaper or app) to mask reflections.
Black phone, dark table — the classic fail
A midnight-black handset on dark wood gives the AI no edge. Shoot dark phones on a light surface and light phones on a mid-tone one; the cutout will be pixel-clean.
For mock-ups, shoot dead square
If you’ll place app screenshots onto the cutout afterwards, photograph the phone perfectly perpendicular — even slight perspective makes the screen overlay look skewed.
Common use cases
- Used phone resale listings (OLX, eBay, Swappa)
- Phone case and accessory shop product images
- App screenshot device mock-ups
- Repair shop before/after marketing
How it works
- 1.Upload a sharp photo of the handset on a contrasting surface (JPG, PNG, or WebP up to 10MB).
- 2.The AI traces the device outline — bezels, buttons and camera bump included.
- 3.Download the transparent PNG for listings or drop app screens onto it for mock-ups.
FAQs
Will the camera bump and buttons stay crisp?
Yes — hardware details on the device outline are traced precisely; they’re part of the kept subject.
How do I avoid the screen showing my ceiling?
That reflection is on the glass and survives the cutout. Turn the display on with a clean wallpaper, or tilt the device slightly off-axis when shooting.
Can I use the cutout for device mock-ups?
Yes — shoot the phone square-on, cut the background, then overlay your app screenshot on the display in any design tool.
Does it work for tablets and smartwatches too?
Yes — the same edge handling applies to any device; watch straps with holes get their gaps cleared as well.
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.
