About Remove Image Background
Drop an image to automatically separate its background, then download a transparent PNG or continue editing in the image editor. No selection box or brush is required.
On-device AI finds the foreground, then edge refinement improves the cutout. Supported browsers can also recover objects associated with foreground groups. Overlapping subjects, fine hair and transparent objects can still produce incomplete results.
Everything happens on your own machine: the file is decoded, processed and re-encoded by your browser, and never leaves your device. There is no upload, no queue and no account.
How to remove image background
- Drop or choose an image.
- Wait for the automatic cutout to appear.
- Download the transparent PNG, or continue with crop, colour and effects.
Frequently asked questions
- Do I need to select the subject?
- No. Processing starts automatically when you open an image through this page. You do not need to draw a selection or paint a mask.
- Does this upload my photo or download an AI model?
- Your photo stays on your device. The tool downloads the models and processing runtime it needs from this site. Detailed foreground-group removal uses an additional model of about 102 MB on compatible browsers. These files are cached when browser storage is available; processing does not use a remote AI service.
- Which images work best?
- Use images with a clear main subject. Overlapping people, transparent objects and fine hair can be harder to separate. Images up to 24 megapixels are supported.
- Can I recover the original?
- Yes. The original file is preserved. Undo or Restore original background brings it back while retaining your other edits.
- Which format keeps transparency?
- PNG is selected after removal. WebP also supports transparency. JPEG flattens the image against white.
