PixCleaner

PixCleaner is a small Chrome extension focused on one job: taking an image that already lives at a web address and returning it with its background removed. Instead of uploading a file from your device, you paste the image URL into the extension, press a button, and the tool processes the remote image and offers the result for download.

That URL-first workflow is handy when images you want to reuse are already published online — product photos, thumbnails, or graphics you found while browsing — and you would rather not save and re-upload them just to strip the background. Everything runs from the extension popup, keeping the process close to where you actually encounter the image.

The extension is published on the Chrome Web Store and is free to install. The developer declares that it does not store information and that data is not sold or used for unrelated purposes, which is worth knowing if you handle images for work. It is a simple, single-purpose utility rather than a full image editor, so pair it with other tools if you need cropping, resizing or retouching.
