Frequently Asked Questions
How do I remove an image background for free?
Upload your photo and the in-browser AI model separates the subject from the background, giving you a transparent PNG to download.
Is the background remover private?
Yes. The AI model runs on your device using WebAssembly. Your image is never uploaded to any server.
Is the result full resolution?
Yes. The cutout is the same pixel size as your photo. There's no low-resolution free preview and no paid HD download.
What photos does it work best on?
The model (Google MediaPipe Selfie Segmenter) is trained on people, so it works best on portraits, selfies and photos of people. Pets, products and other objects may be cut out poorly.
Why is the first use slower?
The AI model (a few MB) downloads once on first use and is then cached, so subsequent removals are fast.
