Free background remover
Save an image with a transparent background
Keep the empty pixels around a cutout when downloading and moving it between applications. The background setting and export format both matter.

All editor tools
Choose a format that preserves alpha
After editing, select Transparent and choose PNG or WebP. A white, coloured or uploaded background will be included if it is still selected. Download the file rather than taking a screenshot of the editor, which captures the visible preview instead of its alpha channel.
Open the downloaded image over a contrasting colour to check its edges. Some viewers show transparent regions as white or black, and some destination applications flatten images on import. Keep a PNG master and avoid resaving it as JPEG when you need to preserve transparency.

A few things to know
Why does a transparent PNG look white in my viewer?
The viewer may display alpha over white. Test the file over another colour before assuming transparency was lost, and check whether the destination application supports alpha.
