Erase backgrounds without uploading your photo

Drop in a photo and the tool separates the subject from the background, giving you a transparent PNG you can drop onto any design, product listing or profile. The segmentation model (RMBG-1.4) runs on your own device via WebAssembly/WebGPU — the only thing downloaded is the model itself, on first use, which the browser caches. Your image is never sent to a server. There is nothing to install and no account to create.

Why use this background remover

How to remove a background

  1. Add your image Drag and drop a photo, or click to select one from your device.
  2. Let the model load On first use the tool downloads the AI model once; this is cached for next time.
  3. Remove the background The subject is separated from the background right on your device.
  4. Download the PNG Save the transparent-background PNG straight to your device — no upload required.

Your image stays private

Background removal runs locally in a Web Worker on your own device. Your image is read into memory and processed there — it is never uploaded. The only network request is the one-time download of the model weights from a public CDN, which contains no data about you. We collect only anonymous, aggregated usage statistics, never your images or filenames.

Verify it yourself: Open your browser DevTools → Network tab and run the tool: no request ever carries your file. Everything happens on your device.

FAQ

Is my photo uploaded to remove the background?
No. The AI model runs in your browser on your own device, so your photo is never uploaded. Only the model itself is downloaded, once.
Why does it download something the first time?
The background-removal model (about 44 MB) is fetched from a public CDN on first use and cached by your browser, so later runs are faster and work offline.
What do I get back?
A PNG with a transparent background, so you can place the subject on any color or design.
Which images work best?
Photos with a clear subject — people, products, animals or objects — give the cleanest cutouts. Very low-contrast edges can be harder.
Is there a limit on how many images I can do?
No. Because nothing is uploaded and there is no account, you can remove as many backgrounds as your device can handle.
Does it work on mobile?
It works in modern browsers, but a desktop with more memory is recommended for large images and the fastest results.
Is it really free?
Yes. There are no watermarks, sign-ups, or per-image paywalls.
