Image transparency checker

Check whether an image contains transparent or partially transparent pixels. The file is decoded and inspected in your browser. It is not uploaded to bgcut.

Check an image

Choose a PNG, JPEG, WebP, or AVIF image. JavaScript enables the local pixel checker on this page.

What the result means

A fully transparent pixel has alpha 0. A partially transparent pixel has alpha between 1 and 254. An opaque pixel has alpha 255.

PNG and WebP can store alpha transparency. JPEG cannot. AVIF can contain alpha when the encoded image includes it.

Why check transparency

A checker can confirm that a cutout really contains alpha instead of a white or checkerboard background baked into the pixels.

If you need to create a transparent cutout first, use the bgcut background remover.
