How to Make a Transparent PNG Cutout on iPhone

TL;DR

After removing the background, PhotoRepair exports your subject as a transparent PNG — ready to drop into stickers, logos, thumbnails, or any design, all cut out on-device.

Steps

  1. In PhotoRepair, remove the background so only your subject remains.
  2. Refine the edges — especially hair and thin details.
  3. Choose to export as a transparent PNG.
  4. Save the PNG, ready to place on any background or design.

Why it works this way

A JPEG can’t be transparent — drop one into a design and you get a white box around your subject. A transparent PNG carries an alpha channel, so the subject sits cleanly on any color or scene. PhotoRepair pairs its AI cutout with PNG export so the isolated subject is immediately usable in stickers, logos, and thumbnails — cut out privately on-device.
