To remove a background, drop a photo in and wait a few seconds while an AI model running in your browser finds the subject. Download the cut-out as a transparent PNG, or choose a white or colored background.

How to remove the background from an image

  1. Drop a photo into the box above (JPG, PNG, WebP or HEIC).
  2. Wait while the AI separates the subject — the first time, the AI model (about 45 MB) downloads once and is then cached.
  3. Choose transparent, white or a custom color background and press Download.

Getting the cleanest cut-out

  • Use a photo where the subject stands out clearly from the background.
  • Even lighting without strong shadows behind the subject gives cleaner edges.
  • For product photos, choose the white background option — most marketplaces require it.
  • Fine hair, fur and see-through objects are the hardest; check the edges before using the result.

How it works

The tool uses ormbg, an open-source (Apache-2.0) segmentation model, run in your browser with ONNX Runtime. The model predicts for every pixel whether it belongs to the foreground; that mask becomes the alpha channel of a full-resolution PNG.

Frequently asked questions

Is my photo uploaded to remove the background?
No. The AI model runs entirely in your browser (using WebGPU when available), so your photo never leaves your device.
Why is the first run slower?
Your browser downloads the AI model once (about 45 MB) and keeps it in its cache, so later photos are processed in seconds.
What works best?
Clear subjects — people, products, pets and objects — on a reasonably distinct background. Fine hair and transparent objects are harder and may need a quick check.
Is it free? Do I need an account?
Yes, it is completely free with no sign-up, no watermarks and no daily limits.
