About Remove Background

Cutting a subject out of its background by hand takes time and skill. This free tool does it automatically with an open-source salient-object segmentation model (U²-Net and IS-Net, Apache-2.0) that runs inside your browser through WebAssembly. It finds the main subject, builds a soft mask and returns a PNG at the full resolution of your photo, with smooth edges instead of jagged cut lines.

Because everything happens on your device, there is no upload, no queue, no watermark and no daily limit. Use the transparent result for e-commerce listings, profile pictures, thumbnails, presentations or design work, or place the subject on white or any colour in one click.

Frequently asked questions

Is my photo uploaded to a server?

No. The background-removal AI model is downloaded to your browser and runs there with WebAssembly. Your photo is never sent anywhere, so it is safe for private pictures and product shots.

Why does the first photo take longer?

The first time, your browser downloads the AI model (about 4.6 MB for Standard or 179 MB for Best). It is stored in your browser, so later photos start right away.

Which quality should I choose?

Standard is quick (a few seconds) and works well for most people, products and pets. Best gives the cleanest edges around hair, fur and fine details and keeps objects the subject is holding, but downloads a larger model and takes about half a minute per photo on a laptop.

What do I get?

A PNG with a transparent background at the full size of your photo, ready for online stores, presentations and designs. You can also pick a solid colour, for example white for marketplace listings.

What works best?

Photos with one clear subject, such as a person, a product or an animal, that stands out from the background. Busy scenes with many objects may need a second try with Best quality.
