How it works

- Keep the background transparent, or choose white.
- Press Remove background, check the result and download the PNG.
Good to know
The work is done on your device by an AI model called U-2-Net. The first time you use it, your browser downloads the model, not your files, about 175 MB. After that it starts from your browser's cache.
On a normal computer one photo takes around ten seconds once the model is downloaded. Phones may run out of memory, so a computer is the better choice for this one.
It works best with a clear subject against a calmer background: a person, a product, a pet. Fine hair, glass and busy backgrounds may need a touch-up, because the model looks at the picture in a reduced size.
Questions
Is my photo uploaded?
No. The photo stays in your browser on your device. Only the AI model is downloaded, the first time.
Can I use the result commercially?
Yes. The result is yours, and the model is released under the Apache 2.0 licence, which allows commercial use.
Is there a watermark or a limit?
No watermark, no sign-up and no limit on the number of photos.
Why is the first run slow?
It has to download the model first, about 175 MB. Later runs start much faster.
