Frequently asked questions
Is this background remover really free?+
Yes. The AI model runs entirely in your browser, so there's no per-image cost on our side and no usage limit on yours. No signup, no watermark.
Does my photo get uploaded to a server?+
No. The image never leaves your device. Removal happens on-device using a small ONNX model that downloads once (~80 MB), then caches for future runs.
Why is the first run slow?+
The first time you click Remove background, your browser downloads the model (~80 MB). After that, it's cached, and subsequent images are processed in a few seconds.
How do I create a new background after removing the old one?+
Once you have a transparent cutout, head over to our AI generator and prompt for the scene you want — beach, studio, neon city, anything. Drop your cutout on top to compose the final image.
What image formats are supported?+
Input: JPG, PNG, and WebP. Output is always a transparent PNG so you can drop the cutout onto any background you want.
What size of image works best?+
Anything from a small profile picture up to ~4K resolution. Very large images use more memory and take longer; 2048×2048 and below feels instant after the model is cached.
Does it work for products, people, pets, or hair?+
All of the above. The model handles people, products, animals, and most everyday photos. Wispy hair and fur usually look clean. Translucent objects (glass, smoke) are still hard for any model.
Does it work offline?+
Yes — once the model is cached. Open the page once with internet, then you can run it on a plane, in a tunnel, anywhere.
