Remove solid‑color backgrounds from AI assets.

Generate an icon, sticker, logo, or UI mark on a flat helper color. Alpha Chroma Studio samples that known backdrop, protects nearby foreground colors, checks the matte, and exports a transparent PNG with local browser processing by default.

  • Source image stays in browser by default

Built for planned cleanup

For graphics with a known backdrop.

Generic background removers guess the subject. Alpha Chroma Studio is for a deliberate workflow: ask the generator for a flat helper color, then remove that known color with controls made for alpha edges, antialiasing, glow, and compression noise.

It fits icons, stickers, badges, logos, thumbnails, UI marks, and web graphics that need to move into Figma, Canva, websites, decks, game assets, or product docs as transparent PNGs.

Sample

Key the helper color you asked for

Click the backdrop directly and add more samples when generated shadows, glow, or JPEG artifacts shift the background color.

Key samples Protect samples Sample radius
Inspect

Review the matte before export

Use result, compare, mask, edge, spill, samples, and background previews to catch halos, pinholes, tint, and accidental subject removal.

Compare Mask Spill
Repair

Fix edge mistakes without a full editor

Tune tolerance, softness, cleanup, despill, choke, feather, and hole fill. Use erase and restore brushes for small local fixes.

Workflow

Upload, adjust, inspect, export.

Open the workbench
  1. Upload the generated asset.

    Drop a PNG, JPG, or WebP made on a solid helper color. The current tool processes it locally.

  2. Sample and refine.

    Use Key samples for the backdrop, Protect samples for nearby foreground colors, then adjust matte sliders.

  3. Inspect the result.

    Switch between compare, mask, edge, spill, sample influence, and destination background previews.

  4. Export the PNG.

    Download a transparent PNG rendered from the source dimensions, current samples, controls, and paint edits.

Asset proof

Source, matte check, transparent export.

Controlled helper-color examples, shown without mascot art or decorative badges. Each case starts on a deliberate backdrop, checks the matte, then previews the transparent PNG on a neutral surface.

App icon tile

A compact UI asset stays sharp while the solid teal source color is removed.

Product UI chip

Small lines, dots, and rounded corners remain readable after the backdrop is keyed out.

Logo lockup

Transparent corners and hard vector-like edges stay visible on the export preview.

Export checks

Don't trust one preview background.

Transparent files fail quietly. A rim can disappear on checkerboard and return on a dark website, or a small interior detail can vanish after one aggressive tolerance change.

  • Review on checkerboard, white, black, and the destination color.
  • Use mask view to catch pinholes and accidental subject removal.
  • Use edge view to find rough antialiasing.
  • Use spill view when helper-color tint remains on the outline.
  • Export from the source dimensions so icons and UI assets stay crisp.

Local-first trust

What stays local, and what may leave later.

The current beta is built for local browser processing. Future cloud features must be explicit, optional, and separated from the default one-asset cleanup flow.

Read the privacy policy

What stays local

Source assets and edit data stay in your browser by default.

  • Chosen image files, decoded pixels, manual masks, brush edits, and samples.
  • Preview processing, matte inspection, despill, cleanup, and export rendering.
  • No account is required for the current free local beta.

What may leave

Only future opt-in cloud workflows should upload asset data.

  • Standard page requests load the app, policies, and public content assets.
  • Later saved projects, sync, batch queues, API jobs, or heavy AI fallback may need uploads.
  • Those features need clear consent, retention, and deletion controls before launch.

Coming later

Cloud features only where they earn their keep.

Alpha Chroma Studio can grow into a hybrid SaaS, but the local transparent-PNG workflow remains the trust anchor. These later features are not required for the current beta.

01

Saved project storage

Opt-in accounts for reopening assets, samples, masks, and export settings across devices.

02

Batch and API workflows

Queue many generated assets, standardize helper-color settings, and automate PNG output.

03

Heavy cleanup fallback

Clearly labeled cloud assistance for cases where local chroma keying is not enough.
