Remove Background from Image
Cut out people, products, pets and objects automatically. The AI runs on your own device, so your photos are never uploaded. Download a transparent PNG or put the subject on white, black, a colour or a blurred background. Need a passport photo next? Use the 35×45 mm resizer.
Move the Edges slider to the left for crisper, harder outlines — useful for logos and product shots.
Why remove backgrounds here?
Most background removers upload your photo to a server and charge for full resolution. This one does the work in your browser, at full size, for free.
- Add one or more photos, or drop them onto the box. The background is removed automatically.
- Drag the compare slider to check the result, then choose the new background and edge style.
- Download the image — or all of them as a ZIP.
Automatic AI cut-out
A neural network finds the main subject and separates it from the background in one step — no brushing or clicking.
Never uploaded
The AI model is downloaded once (2.3 MB) and runs on your device. Your photos stay with you.
Full resolution, free
Results are saved at your photo’s own size (up to 4096 px), with no watermark and no sign-up.
Any new background
Transparent, white, black, any colour, or a blurred version of the original for a portrait look.
Soft or crisp edges
Keep natural soft edges for people and pets, or harden them for logos and product shots.
Batch processing
Drop in several images; each one is processed in turn and they all download as one ZIP.
Getting the cleanest cut-out
The tool uses U²-Net, an open-source AI model for finding the main subject of a picture (published by Qin et al. under the Apache 2.0 licence). It looks at the whole image, decides what stands out — a person, a product, an animal — and produces a mask that keeps the subject and removes the rest.
It works best when there is one clear subject that contrasts with its surroundings: a product on a table, a portrait, a pet, a car, a logo on a plain wall. Busy scenes with many objects, very fine hair against a similar-coloured background, and see-through objects such as glass are harder; there you may see a soft halo or a missing strand. Shooting against a plain background, with good light and the subject filling most of the frame, gives the best results.
Edges: “Natural” keeps the model’s soft transition, which looks right for hair and fur. Moving the slider left makes the outline crisper, which suits products, packaging and logos. For e-commerce listings, choose White — most marketplaces ask for a pure white background — and save as JPG. For designs and overlays, keep Transparent and save as PNG or WebP.
The first time you use the tool, the browser downloads the 2.3 MB AI model; after that it is cached. On computers and phones with graphics acceleration a photo takes about a second; older devices fall back to a slower method that can take up to a minute.
Frequently asked questions
Is this background remover really free?
Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on resolution or number of images. The processing happens on your own device, so there is no server cost to pass on.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. Only the AI model is downloaded to your browser; your photos are processed locally and never leave your device.
What kind of photos work best?
A single clear subject — a person, product, pet or object — that stands out from the background. Busy scenes, fine hair on similar colours and glass are harder.
How do I get a white background for a product photo?
Choose White under Background and JPG as the format, then download. That is the format most online marketplaces ask for.
Why does it take longer on some devices?
The AI runs on your graphics chip when the browser allows it, which takes about a second. Without it, a slower fallback is used that can take up to a minute.
