How to remove a background

Drag a photo into the box. The tool is tuned for people — portraits, selfies, and profile shots give the cleanest cutouts. Your photo stays in this tab and is never uploaded.

Click Remove background. The first time, the AI model (~12 MB) downloads once and runs entirely in your browser — after that it loads from cache instantly.

Download the transparent PNG. Use it straight in thumbnails, product pages, or profile pictures — or composite it onto any new background later.

Frequently asked questions

Is this background remover really free?+

Yes. The AI model runs inside your browser — there is no server, so there is nothing to charge for and no limit on how many photos you process.

Are my photos uploaded to a server?+

No. Everything runs locally in your tab: the photo, the AI model, and the result never leave your device. You can even use the tool offline after the model's first download.

Why is the first click slow?+

The AI model (~12 MB) is downloaded once and cached by your browser. After that, removals start instantly. Processing itself takes a few seconds per photo.

Why does it work best on portraits?+

The on-device model (MODNet) was trained specifically for human portrait matting, so people — faces, hair, shoulders — are its specialty. Objects and complex scenes may come out less precise; we're working on a general-purpose model for those.
