Color Keying / Chroma Key Basics

Color keying maps each pixel to its RGB channels and calculates the distance to the target color. Pixels falling within the tolerance threshold are assigned an alpha value of 0 (transparency).

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this tool support automatic AI background removal?
No, this tool uses chroma-key color thresholding running locally in your browser. This guarantees 100% data privacy and runs without external server costs.
Why does parts of the subject get erased as well?
If the subject contains colors similar to the background, increasing tolerance will key them out too. Adjust the tolerance lower or choose a more distinct color.
