PixelVault removes photo backgrounds with AI — without your photo ever leaving your device. Every well-known background removal site works the same way: you upload your image, their servers run a neural network on it, and you download the cutout. That pipeline requires handing over the photo. PixelVault flips it around: instead of sending your image to the model, the model comes to you. A compact segmentation network (ISNet) downloads to your browser once, and every photo after that is processed locally.
The result is the full toolkit you would expect: a clean cutout with a transparent background, ready to download as PNG or WebP; a solid-color backdrop for profile pictures, ID photos and product shots; or a blurred background for a portrait-style effect without removing anything. Erase and Restore brushes let you fix any spot the AI got wrong, and an edge smoothing slider softens the cutout line for a natural composite.
Because inference is local, there are no per-image credits, no watermarks, no resolution caps and no queue. Run it on one photo or fifty — the only cost was the one-time model download, which your browser caches.
Kuidas see töötab
On first use, PixelVault fetches the ISNet segmentation model and a WebAssembly runtime (about 55 MB for the standard model — you are told before anything downloads). The model analyses your photo and produces a mask: a per-pixel estimate of what is subject and what is background. That mask becomes the alpha channel of your image, and everything else — color backgrounds, blur, brush touch-ups, edge feathering — is ordinary canvas compositing done instantly on your device. The model stays in your browser cache, so subsequent runs skip the download entirely.
Miks kohalik töötlemine on oluline
Photos you would want a background removed from are often exactly the ones you would rather not upload: family pictures, ID and passport photos, unreleased product shots. With local inference there is no server that sees the original, no terms of service governing what happens to uploads, and no retention window to wonder about. It also means the tool keeps working on a plane or behind a strict firewall once the model is cached.
