Headshots

Give your headshot a clean background.

Knockout cuts the background in this tab, then you put the subject on white or a studio gradient. Copy the PNG or download it. We do not see the file. There is no account.

A simple headshot flow

  1. Drop a portrait JPEG, PNG, or HEIC.
  2. Wait for the on-device cut. Nothing is uploaded to Knockout.
  3. Open Add background. White or Studio is usually enough.
  4. Copy the image, share it from your phone, or download PNG or JPG.

Who uses this

  • People updating a LinkedIn or company directory photo, or composing a LinkedIn / X post image in the social thumbnail maker.
  • Actors and models who need a clean PNG for a comp.
  • Photographers delivering a quick white-background proof.

Quality

The cut runs on a smaller preview to reduce processing memory. Export applies that mask to your original pixels. Hair and glasses edges can still fray, same as on cloud tools. Shoot on a plain wall when you can.
