Make a Background Transparent
Turn any photo into a transparent PNG: the AI cuts out the subject on your device, you fine-tune the edges, and the download keeps a real alpha channel. Nothing is uploaded.
Privacy-first: every image is processed locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, stored or transmitted to any server.
A real alpha channel, not a white box
Transparency is what lets a logo sit on any color, a product drop into any banner, and a portrait float on a poster. The export here is a true transparent PNG (or WebP, for the same transparency at a fraction of the size) — soft, anti-aliased edges included, tunable with the edge-smoothing slider so composites look natural instead of cut-with-scissors.
Fix the fiddly parts yourself
AI cutouts are 95% right and 5% annoying — a missing shoelace, a kept shadow. The Restore brush paints back anything the model dropped; the Erase brush removes what it wrongly kept; a reset returns to the AI result if you overdo it. All of it happens on the full-resolution image, in your browser, with the original photo never leaving your machine.
Frequently asked questions
- Is my photo uploaded to remove the background?
- No. The AI model runs inside your browser using WebAssembly — inference happens on your own device. The only thing ever downloaded is the model itself (once); nothing is ever uploaded.
- Why does the first run download ~55 MB?
- That download is the neural network itself (the ISNet segmentation model plus its runtime). Cloud tools keep the model on their servers — which is exactly why they need your photo. Running it locally means fetching the model once; your browser caches it, so later runs start instantly and even work offline.
- How do I get a transparent background?
- Transparent is the default. After the AI cuts out the subject, download as PNG or WebP — both keep full transparency.
- Can I blur the background instead of removing it?
- Yes. Switch the background to “Blur” and adjust the strength for a portrait-style effect, or pick “Color” for a clean studio look — handy for profile photos and product shots.
- What if the AI misses part of the subject?
- Use the touch-up brushes: Restore paints back anything the AI removed, Erase cleans up leftovers. Edge smoothing softens the cutout line, and you can always reset to the AI result.
- Which photos work best?
- Clear subjects — people, products, animals — on reasonably distinct backgrounds. The “High” model handles tricky details like hair better at the cost of a bigger one-time download.
