What this tool does

This tool separates the subject of a photo from its background, so you get a clean cut-out of a person, product, animal or object. It is ideal for product listings, profile pictures, slides, stickers and designs. Add your photos, choose a background, and download the results.

How to remove a background

  1. Press Choose photos and pick one or more images. Photos can also be dropped onto the page.
  2. Wait for the first photo to be processed. The Original and the Cut-out are shown side by side so you can compare.
  3. Choose a New background: Transparent, White, or any Colour you like.
  4. Pick how to Save as: PNG keeps transparency, JPG gives a smaller file with a solid background.
  5. Press Download. Clear all removes the photos so you can start again.

AI that stays on your device

Most background removers upload your photo to their servers. This one does not. A modern segmentation model runs inside your browser, using your graphics card when available, and the result is made right here. Your photos never leave this device.

Transparent or a new colour

Choose Transparent for a PNG you can place on any design, or put the subject on white or any colour you like. White backgrounds are a common requirement for marketplace product photos.

Use PNG whenever you want to keep the transparent edges. JPG cannot store transparency, so it always has a solid background colour.

Supported files

You can add PNG, JPG, WebP and BMP images. Large photos are kept at their full size in the result.

Getting the best results

  • Photos with a clear subject and good lighting cut out best.
  • Fine details like hair and fur are handled well, but very busy scenes can confuse any model.
  • A background that contrasts with the subject helps, for example a dark item on a light wall.
  • Check the edges at full size before you use the result. If something is missing, try a sharper or better lit photo.
  • Add a drop shadow or place the cut-out on a brand colour afterwards in the image editor.

Common uses

  • Online shop owners and market sellers who need clean product photos on white.
  • Students and office workers putting a person or object on a slide without the backdrop.
  • Freelancers making profile pictures, thumbnails and stickers for clients.
  • Anyone making a passport style photo on a plain background.

If you only want to blur the background instead of removing it, use blur background. To swap in a plain colour, change background colour is quicker.

Questions

Why does the first photo take longer?

The first time, your browser downloads the AI model, about 170 MB. It is then kept in your browser's cache, so it does not need to download again.

Which browsers work?

The AI uses your graphics card through WebGPU, which current Chrome, Edge and Safari support. On older browsers the tool explains what is needed.

Is it really free?

Yes. There are no credits, no watermarks and no sign-up, because the work happens on your own device.

Can I process many photos at once?

Yes. Add several photos and they are handled one after another.

Are my photos stored?

No. Photos are processed in your browser and are not sent to a server.

Where to next

Carry on with what you just made, still on your device.
