Questions about remove background
Is it really free?
Yes. It runs in your browser. The first use downloads a model (tens of MB); after that it is instant and offline.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. Only the model is downloaded; your photo never leaves your device.
What works best?
A clear subject against a distinct background. Busy edges like loose hair can be tricky.
Getting a clean cutout
The tool uses an AI model that runs on your own device to separate the subject from its background and saves the result as a PNG with a transparent background. It works best on photos where the subject stands out clearly: people, products on plain surfaces, pets and objects with distinct edges.
Hair, fur and glass are hard cases. Good lighting and a background that contrasts with the subject make a noticeable difference. If an edge looks rough, try a higher-quality original rather than a heavily compressed one.
First run and speed
The first time you use the tool, it downloads the AI model, which is tens of megabytes, so allow a few moments. After that it works from your browser’s cache. On computers with a supported graphics card it runs faster; on other devices it uses the processor and may take longer on large photos. Your picture is never uploaded.
