How to remove an image background?
- 1
Upload your image
Drag a photo (JPG, PNG, WebP) onto the drop zone or click to select it. The image never leaves your device: all AI processing happens in your browser with WebGPU/WebAssembly.
- 2
Let the AI work
The first time, the AI model downloads (only once, a few MB, then cached). You'll see a progress bar. After that, removing the background of each image takes just a few seconds.

Choose the background
Keep the background transparent (PNG with alpha channel), apply a solid color with the picker, or upload a new image that is placed behind the subject. The preview updates instantly.

Download the PNG
Click 'Download PNG' to save the result in high quality, with no watermark and no limits. You can process as many images as you want.
Privacy: your photo never leaves your browser
Unlike most background-removal sites, here the AI runs directly on your device. We load an open-source AI model in your browser (with WebGPU when available, or WebAssembly) and all the cutout happens locally. Your image is not uploaded, not stored and seen by no one. Ideal for personal photos, documents or confidential material.
Frequently asked questions
Are my photos uploaded to a server?
No. All the AI runs inside your browser using WebGPU/WebAssembly. The image is never sent to any server, nothing is stored, and you can even disconnect the Internet after the model loads. It's the most private way to remove backgrounds.
Is there a watermark or download limit?
No. The result downloads as a high-quality PNG with no watermark, no image limit and no sign-up. Unlike many sites that add a watermark or charge for full resolution, here the full download is free.
What kind of images work best?
The AI model (BiRefNet) is general purpose and works well with people, products, animals and objects that have a clear subject and good contrast against the background. Images with very soft edges, glass or very fine hair may need a small manual touch-up afterwards.
Why is the first run slower?
The first time, your browser downloads the AI model (a few MB) and caches it. That's why the first image takes a bit longer. From the second image on, the model is already loaded and the process is much faster.
Can I change the background to another color or image?
Yes. After removing the background you can keep it transparent, pick a solid color with the picker, or upload a new image that is placed behind the subject. Everything is composited in your browser and downloaded as PNG.
Do I need to install anything?
No. It's a web tool: it works in modern Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari with nothing to install. For maximum speed, browsers with WebGPU (current Chrome/Edge) accelerate the process using the GPU.
