Remove background

The AI cuts out the subject – as a transparent PNG or with a new background. No upload, no sign-up, no daily limit.

The AI runs on your device. The first time, your browser downloads the AI model; after that it is faster. On older phones the processing can take a while.

Step by step

  1. Drop the photo. You first see the original; after a short calculation the cut-out subject appears on the checkerboard pattern.
  2. Under “New background”, choose “Transparent (PNG)”, “White” or “Custom color”. For a custom color, a color field appears.
  3. Use “Softer edge” to set how hard the transition between subject and background should be. 0 px is fully sharp, higher values let the edge fade gently.
  4. Tick “Crop to subject” if needed. The empty border is removed, leaving only a narrow margin around the subject.
  5. Tap “Download”. With a transparent background you get a PNG, with a white or colored background a JPG. “Continue with …” sends the result straight to another tool.

What you can use it for

  • Consistent team photos: Portraits taken in different rooms look messy on a website. Give them all the same custom background color and they match, without anyone having to be photographed again.
  • Presentations and documents: A cut-out subject as PNG can be placed on any background in slides, flyers or invitations, without a box showing around the picture.
  • Photo montages: For a montage in an image editor you skip the tedious manual cut-out. The transparent PNG goes on its own layer above the new background image.
  • Animals and objects: Besides people, the AI also detects pets, plants or objects as the main subject. Useful for gift ideas, keepsake pictures or as input for other tools.

How it works

  1. Drop a photo. The AI detects the main subject.
  2. Choose the background: transparent, white or a custom color.
  3. Download – as PNG with a transparent background, otherwise as JPG.

Unlike many services, there is no limit of a few images per day and no downsized free version. The result has the full resolution of your photo.

Frequently asked questions

Is it really free and unlimited?

Yes. The AI runs on your device, so there is no cost per image for us.

Is my photo uploaded?

No. The AI model is loaded into your browser and runs there. Your photo never leaves your device.

Why is it slower the first time?

On first use your browser downloads the AI model. After that it is cached and much faster.

What is it good for?

Product photos for marketplaces and Etsy, profile pictures, stickers and collages.

Why do I get a JPG with a white background?

Without transparency there's no need for a PNG. A JPG is much smaller for photos and accepted everywhere. If you want a PNG, choose “Transparent (PNG)”.

Does the AI recalculate when I change a setting?

No. The mask is computed once per photo. Background, color, edge and crop are then updated instantly.

How well does it handle hair and fine detail?

Hair, fur and thin branches are usually detected well, though single fine strands may be lost. A slightly higher “Softer edge” value makes such areas look more natural.

What if part of the subject is missing?

That happens more often when subject and background have similar colors. A photo with clearer contrast between subject and surroundings gives a better result.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes. Background removal runs on your device's processor, so older phones and very large photos take a bit longer.
