How to remove an image background
- Drop an image (JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, HEIC, GIF, BMP, TIFF, SVG) onto the box above, paste it, or click to choose a file.
- Wait a few seconds. On your first use, the AI model (~40 MB) downloads once — every image after that is much faster.
- The background-removed image appears right away. Hold the Compare button to see the original.
- Keep it transparent, or pick a background colour or image.
- Click Download image and choose PNG, WebP or JPG.
Fix any mistake in seconds
- Remove — click a background area (or a colour) to remove it.
- Erase / Restore brush — paint over small leftovers or lost details.
What works well
- People and portraits — clean cutouts around hair, shoulders and clothing
- Products — bottles, shoes, electronics, packaged goods
- Animals — pets, wildlife, detailed fur
- Cars and objects — cars, furniture, plants
Complex backgrounds (crowds, foliage, glass) work less reliably. The model runs on your device, so results depend on image complexity and your CPU speed.
Your image never leaves your device
The AI model runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Your image is never uploaded to any server, no data is collected, and once the page has loaded you can even disconnect from the internet and the tool still works.
Why the first run is slower
The AI segmentation model is around 40 MB. It downloads once and is then cached by your browser. Every image after the first is processed in a few seconds on a typical laptop, longer on older phones.

Why does the first run take longer?
On first use, the AI model (about 40 MB) is downloaded and cached by your browser. Every image after that is much faster.

Yes. It runs in Safari on iOS and Chrome on Android. Older phones may take longer because the model runs on your device's CPU.
