How do I remove the white background from a t-shirt design?

Upload the JPG, PNG or WebP. The box and any soft shadow are removed and nothing is redrawn. It is in beta: it works on designs with a clear outline and fails on some others.

Upload the design. Up to 24 MB. Use the largest copy you have, because nothing is enlarged.
Compare upload and result. They are shown side by side. If part of the design is missing, press Fix it to see the second result, which reads white the other way.
Download, or do not. A preview costs nothing. Download only when the result is your design.

Where it works

Badges, characters and lettering with a dark edge around them.

Where it fails today

White letter fills that have no outline, white rings, and line art that is not closed. On a white box, white inside a design can be art or a gap, and the pixels do not say which.

If it fails

Go back to the layered original and export it with a transparent background, or describe the design and make a new one.
