Quick Answer

Background removal is the process of separating a subject from its background in an image. Our free online tool uses AI (machine learning) running entirely in your browser via WebAssembly to automatically detect and remove backgrounds. The result is a transparent PNG you can use on any background. No images are uploaded to a server — all processing happens locally on your device.

Key Facts

  • AI background removal uses neural networks trained to detect foreground subjects
  • WebAssembly allows heavy ML models to run at near-native speed in modern browsers
  • PNG is the standard format for images with transparency (alpha channel)
  • The AI model is downloaded once and cached by your browser for instant reuse
  • Processing time depends on image resolution and your device's hardware
  • Background removal works best on images with clear subject-background contrast

Frequently Asked Questions

No. All processing happens entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Your images never leave your device — nothing is uploaded, stored, or seen by anyone. You can even disconnect from the internet after the page loads and it will still work.

No. Everything runs locally in your browser via WebAssembly. Images never leave your device.

The first time you use the tool, your browser needs to download the AI model (roughly 40–90 MB depending on the quality setting). After that, the model is cached by your browser so subsequent uses start almost instantly.

The AI model downloads once on first use, then is cached for instant reuse.

Fast is the quickest option and works well for simple subjects with clean backgrounds. Balanced (the default) offers a good mix of speed and accuracy — it handles most photos well including people, products, and animals. Best gives the finest edge detail for complex subjects like hair or fur, but takes longer and uses more memory.

Fast is quickest, Balanced mixes speed and quality, Best gives the finest edge detail for hair and fur.

Try increasing the Feather slider in Advanced Settings to soften the edges. If the mask is cutting into your subject or leaving background fringe, adjust the Edge Shift slider — negative values shrink the mask inward and positive values expand it outward. For the best edge quality on hair or detailed subjects, switch to the Best model.

Use the Feather slider to soften edges, Edge Shift to adjust the cutout boundary, or switch to the Large model.

You can upload JPG, PNG, WebP, BMP, GIF, AVIF, and TIFF images. For output, you can download as PNG (with transparency), WebP, or JPEG. Note that JPEG does not support transparency — if you choose JPEG, the transparent area will be white unless you set a solid background color.

Upload: JPG, PNG, WebP, BMP, GIF, AVIF, TIFF. Download: PNG, WebP, or JPEG.

Yes. You can drop or select multiple images and they will each appear as a separate entry. Each image gets its own settings, so you can adjust the model, feather, and edge shift independently. Use the "Download All" button to save them all at once as a ZIP file.

Yes. Drop multiple images, adjust settings per image, and use "Download All" for batch export.

After removing the background, open Advanced Settings and toggle "Solid background color" on. Pick any color using the color picker. The transparent area will be filled with your chosen color in the downloaded file.

Toggle "Solid background color" in Advanced Settings and pick a color.

The maximum file size is 50 MB. There is no hard resolution limit, but very large images (above ~4000×4000 pixels) may be slow or run out of memory on devices with limited RAM, especially phones. If processing fails on a large image, try the Fast model or resize the image first.

Max 50 MB. Very large images may be slow on devices with limited RAM.

The AI works best when there is clear contrast between the subject and background. If parts of your subject are similar in color to the background, the model may misclassify them. Try switching to the Best model for better accuracy, or adjust the Mask Contrast slider to sharpen the boundary between foreground and background.

Try the Best model or adjust Mask Contrast. Works best with clear subject-background contrast.

Yes, it works on any modern browser with WebAssembly support, including Safari on iOS and Chrome on Android. Processing will be slower on mobile devices compared to a desktop or laptop. For best results on mobile, use the Fast or Balanced model and avoid very high-resolution images.

Yes, on any modern mobile browser. Use Fast or Balanced model for best performance.
