Background Remover

System ideaMissing a tool?

Remove an image's background locally and download a transparent PNG

Remove the background from a PNG, JPEG or WebP photo using an on-device AI model, then download a transparent PNG. The photo and the model both stay on this device; nothing is uploaded.

Choose a photo, then remove its background.

The first run downloads a small (about 5 MB) background removal model, cached by your browser for next time.

The photo and the AI model both stay on this device: nothing is uploaded, and no image content is ever logged or stored.

Everything on this page is processed in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.

What this tool does

This tool runs a compact image-segmentation model (U^2-Netp) entirely inside your browser tab using WebAssembly, instead of uploading the photo to a server. The first run downloads the model once and your browser caches it, so later images on this page process without downloading it again. The result is a PNG with a transparent background, ready to drop onto a new background or into another design.

How to use it

  1. Choose a PNG, JPEG or WebP photo.
  2. Press Remove Background and wait for the on-device model to process it.
  3. Download the result as a transparent PNG.

Privacy

This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your input is never uploaded, stored or shared — closing the tab removes it.

Frequently asked questions

Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. The image is decoded and processed entirely in your browser tab by a locally run AI model; it is never sent to a server, logged or stored.
Why does the first run take longer?
The background-removal model (about 5 MB) downloads once and is cached by your browser, so every image after the first on this page processes without downloading it again.
What file types are supported?
PNG, JPEG and WebP as input. The result always downloads as a PNG, since only PNG supports the transparency a cutout needs.
Why does a busy or low-contrast background sometimes leave artifacts?
The model is a small, general-purpose version chosen to keep the download light; fine detail like loose hair, or a background close in color to the subject, can be harder to separate cleanly than a plain backdrop.
