Upload a photo and the AI isolates the subject and removes the background, producing a transparent PNG. You can also replace the background with a solid color for ID photos, product shots or avatars. Switch to Advanced mode to zoom into the preview and touch up edges with a brush, feather and defringe edges, use a gradient or your own background image, add an outline and drop shadow, and auto-crop to the subject at ratios like 1:1. The model runs entirely in your browser; images never leave your device.

## How to use

1. Select one or more images (JPG, PNG, WebP, etc.)
2. Choose a transparent background or a solid color (white / red / blue presets for ID photos); switch to Advanced mode at the top right for more control
3. In Advanced mode check the preview and fix mistakes with the Erase / Keep brush
4. Click Remove Background, wait for the AI and download

## FAQ

### The result is not clean. What can I do?

The model works best on photos with a clear subject such as people, products, animals or vehicles. Backgrounds with colors close to the subject, very small subjects or lots of fine hair can cause errors. Switch to Advanced mode and use Erase to paint away leftover background and Keep to paint back parts that were removed; if a ring of background remains, set a negative Shrink / expand or turn up color-fringe removal under Edges.

### How do I make a white-background product photo?

In Advanced mode pick a white solid background, then under Export choose Crop to subject, aspect ratio 1:1 and a max size such as 800 or 1200 px; the subject is centered with a margin. Add a light drop shadow under Effects for depth.

### Why does the first run take a moment?

The first use downloads a 46 MB AI segmentation model into the browser cache; later runs skip the download. Browsers with WebGPU (recent Chrome, Edge and Safari) process images much faster.

### Can I change the background color of an ID photo?

Yes. Choose "Solid color" and click the white, red or blue preset to get an ID photo with that backdrop.

### Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. Everything runs locally in your browser via WebAssembly. Files never leave your computer and are discarded when you close the page.

### Do I need to sign up or pay?

No. The site is completely free, requires no account, has no usage limits and adds no watermarks.
