Free Image Background Remover
Get a clean transparent cutout from any photo.
First run downloads ~40 MB of AI model files. Subsequent runs are cached and instant.
How it works
Three steps. The AI runs on your device, so your image never leaves your browser.
- STEP 1
Upload your image
Drop, paste, or pick any JPG, PNG, or WebP file. Works on people, products, pets, and more.
- STEP 2
Run the AI
Click Remove background. The model runs locally in your browser — no upload, no server roundtrip.
- STEP 3
Download the cutout
Save the result as a transparent PNG, ready to drop onto any background you want.
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 the open-source ormbg model, which downloads once then caches for future runs.
Why is the first run slow?+
The first time you click Remove background, your browser downloads the AI model (~40 MB). After that it's cached, and subsequent images process in a few seconds.
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 are scaled down to stay within your browser's memory.
Does it work for products, people, pets, or hair?+
All of the above. ormbg handles people, products, animals, and most everyday photos, with clean edges on hair and fur. Translucent objects (glass, smoke) are still hard for any model.
