Features
Local AI Processing
The AI model runs in your browser. Your image never leaves your device — no server, no upload.
One-Click Cutout
No manual tracing or selection. The AI detects the subject and removes the background, outputting a transparent PNG.
Background Replace
Swap the background to transparent, white or a custom color — perfect for product shots and ID photos.
What is AI background removal?
AI background removal uses a machine-learning model to automatically detect the subject of an image (a person, product or object) and make the background transparent. Compared with manually tracing in Photoshop, AI removal takes a single click and handles tricky edges like hair far more naturally.
100% local, privacy-first
Unlike many cloud background removers that upload your photo, this tool uses the open-source @imgly/background-removal model and runs entirely in your browser via WebAssembly/ONNX. Your images are never uploaded, stored or shared with any third party — ideal for portraits, IDs and confidential product photos.
Slow on first use, fast afterwards
On first use, the browser downloads a ~30MB AI model, which can take a little while depending on your connection. The model is cached in the browser's IndexedDB, so later cutouts are fast and can even work offline.
Common use cases
Background removers are widely used for e-commerce white-background product shots, social media stickers, profile photos, slide assets, and swapping background colors. Combine it with our watermark, compression and format-conversion tools to handle images end to end.
Frequently asked questions
How accurate is the background removal?
Very good on clearly separated subjects (people against plain backgrounds, product shots on neutral surfaces, portraits with soft light). It struggles at hair-fine detail against busy backgrounds and translucent subjects like glass or ice. The AI model runs locally in your browser rather than on a server.
Does this upload my photo to a server?
No. The AI model runs entirely inside your browser — it downloads once, gets cached, and then runs on your device with WebAssembly. Your photo never leaves the browser tab, which is what makes this safe for private photos, employee headshots, or client work under NDA.
Does it work on people, products and objects?
Yes to all three. The underlying model was trained on a broad category set, so portraits, e-commerce product shots, animal photos and everyday objects all work. It is optimised for the general 'foreground versus background' case rather than a specific niche.
What file formats work?
Input: JPG, PNG and WebP. Output: PNG — with a transparent background (the standard for e-commerce and design work), or with a white or custom solid-color background if you choose one.
Does the model run on my device or in the cloud?
On your device, in the browser. The first time you use the tool, your browser downloads the AI model files (several tens of megabytes). The model then runs on your device; your photo itself is never sent anywhere.
Can I use it offline after the first run?
Not reliably. The model files are downloaded on first use and your browser may keep them cached, which usually makes later runs start faster, but the tool needs a connection to fetch the model if the cache has been cleared. Your photo is processed on your device either way.
