Remove Background from Image
Erase the background from a photo automatically — with an AI model that runs on your own device instead of a server. No credits, no watermarks, no resolution caps, and your image is never uploaded.
Privacy-first: every image is processed locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, stored or transmitted to any server.
The AI comes to you, not the other way around
Every mainstream background remover works by taking your photo to its servers, because that is where the neural network lives. This one moves the network instead: a compact segmentation model (ISNet) downloads to your browser once — about 55 MB, stated up front — and after that every removal happens locally. That flips the economics too: with no server doing the work, there is nothing to meter, so there are no per-image credits and no paywalled HD export.
Automatic first, hand-corrected where it counts
The AI produces the cutout in one pass; you stay in control afterwards. Erase and Restore brushes fix any spot it misjudged, edge smoothing softens the outline, and the before/after slider shows exactly what changed. Export a transparent PNG or WebP, or put a solid color or blur behind the subject before downloading.
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.
