What is a background remover?
A background remover is a tool that separates the main subject of a photo from everything behind it and deletes the background, leaving it transparent. The result is saved as a PNG file, because PNG supports transparency, so you can place the cut-out on any colour, design or website.
This tool uses an AI image-segmentation model that runs directly in your web browser using WebAssembly. That means there is nothing to install, no account to create, and your photos stay on your phone or computer.
Frequently asked questions
Is this background remover free?
Yes. It is completely free with no sign-up, no credits and no watermark on the downloaded image.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. The background is removed by an AI model that runs inside your own browser, so your photo never leaves your device.
How do I make an image background transparent?
Upload the image, wait a few seconds while the background is removed, then click Download PNG. PNG files keep the transparent background.
Which file formats are supported?
You can upload JPG, JPEG, PNG and WebP images. The result is always downloaded as a PNG so the transparency is kept.
Does it reduce the image quality or size?
No. The downloaded PNG keeps the same width and height as the image you uploaded.
Why is the first image slower?
The first time you use the tool your browser downloads the AI model. After that it is cached, so the next images are processed much faster.
Can I add a white background instead of transparent?
Yes. Before downloading, choose White or pick any custom colour and the tool will place your subject on that background.
Does it work on mobile phones?
Yes. It works in modern mobile browsers such as Chrome and Safari, although very large photos are processed faster on a laptop or desktop.
