How to remove an image background

Drop an image onto the box above, or click to choose a file. On the first run your browser downloads the cutout model (this happens once), then it removes the background and shows the result on a checkerboard. Click Download PNG to save the transparent image. Nothing is uploaded — it runs in your browser.

Getting the cleanest cutout

Photos with a clear subject and good separation from the background work best — portraits, products, and pets. Even lighting and a subject that stands out from the backdrop give the sharpest edges. Busy or low-contrast backgrounds are harder, so a cleaner source image gives a cleaner cutout.

Questions

Is it private? Does my photo get uploaded?
Yes — it's private. The background-removal model runs entirely in your browser, on your device. Your image is never uploaded to any server and never leaves your computer or phone.
Why does the first image take longer?
The first use downloads the AI segmentation model to your browser. Your browser caches it, so after that first download the tool is fast and works even offline.
What do I get back?
A PNG with a transparent background, shown on a checkerboard so you can see the transparency. Download it and drop it onto any background, design, or document.
Is there a watermark or a limit?
No watermark, no account, and no per-image paywall. Because the whole cutout happens locally there's nothing to meter — though larger images take a little longer to process in the browser.
