Is the background removal free?

Yes, completely free with no limits. The AI runs on your device, so there are no per-image costs or quotas.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. The cutout runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Your image never leaves your device.

What format is the output?

A PNG with a transparent background, so you can drop it onto any color, photo, or design.

Why does the first cutout take a few seconds?

Your browser downloads a small AI model the first time (cached afterward). Subsequent images process almost instantly.

Does it work for hair and fine detail?

Yes. For the trickiest edges, switch to the higher-precision model in the background changer tool, which shares the same engine.

Can I then add a solid color background?

Yes — use the ID Photo background changer to drop in a white, blue, or red background for passport and ID photos.

What images work best?

Clear subjects with good contrast against the background give the cleanest cutouts. Avoid very low-light or busy-background photos.

Is there a file size limit?

Large images are automatically downscaled for processing; you can use photos up to around 50 MB.

How it works

Upload an image and an AI segmentation model runs entirely in your browser to detect the subject and erase the background, leaving a clean transparent PNG. Because the model runs locally with WebAssembly, your photo is never uploaded — ideal for portraits, ID photos, and product shots you want to keep private.
