Whiten photo/signature background

Turn a light, fairly uniform background into pure white (or transparent) using a brightness cutoff — good for cleaning up a scanned signature or ID photo shot against textured paper. A simple brightness threshold, not AI subject detection, so it works best when the background is clearly lighter than the subject.

For a signature or ID photo scanned against off-white or textured paper, this cleans the background to pure white (or transparent) so it drops neatly into a form or document.

Good to know: It works by a brightness threshold, not AI subject detection — so it excels when the background is clearly lighter than the subject and struggles when the two are similar in tone. It's fast and predictable rather than magic; a busy or dark background won't separate cleanly.

Common questions

Does this cut out any background like an AI remover?

No. It whitens or clears pixels above a brightness cutoff — ideal for a dark signature or face on a light background, but it isn't a general subject-cutout tool.
