Remove Background

Drop in a photo and the subject is detected automatically, including people, pets, products, and plants. Hair, fur, and soft edges are preserved as real alpha instead of a hard cropped edge, and background areas become genuine transparency. The entire process runs locally on your device. The neural network loads into your browser, so the image never reaches a server.

Fine details, editable afterwards

The automatic pass produces a soft alpha mask rather than a scissors cut, keeping flyaway hair and semi-transparent edges intact against any new background. When the model misses details, restore or erase with a feathered brush at any zoom level. Every stroke edits the mask reversibly, and the original image remains untouched. The result exports as a transparent PNG suitable for slides, online stores, documents, and design software.

Private by construction

There is no upload step. The segmentation model (40 to 80 MB, cached after the first use) and your image both stay in the browser tab. Background removal runs on your local hardware at full speed without transmitting data. Closing the tab leaves only the cached model files, which contain no personal information.

Frequently asked questions

Is my photo uploaded anywhere?

No. The background removal runs entirely in your browser using a neural network that is downloaded once and cached locally. Your image is processed on your own device and is never transmitted to any server.

Why does the first run take longer?

During the first use, your browser downloads the segmentation model (roughly 40 to 80 MB depending on the variant). Subsequent sessions load it instantly from browser cache, so bandwidth is required only once.

The automatic cutout missed a spot, can I fix it?

Yes. Use the Restore brush to paint details back in and the Erase brush to remove leftovers. Adjust the brush size, zoom in for fine work, and use the mask preview to see exactly what is kept or removed. Undo and redo work across every stroke, and Reset returns to the automatic result.

What is an alpha mask, and why does it matter?

An alpha mask stores how transparent each pixel is, from fully kept to fully removed. That is what lets hair, fur, motion blur and semi-transparent objects blend convincingly onto a new background, instead of being chopped off by a hard edge the way a plain crop would be.

Which formats can I import and export?

Import PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF, BMP, TIFF or SVG. Export is a PNG with a real alpha channel, which every mainstream design tool, browser and office suite understands.

Is it free to use?

Yes. No account, watermark, or waiting queue is required. Processing takes place on your machine, eliminating per-image processing costs.
