Free, no uploads, no sign-up. Runs 100% in your browser.

How Background Remover works

Background Remover runs a segmentation model (from @imgly/background-removal) on your device with ONNX Runtime Web, using WebGPU when available. It predicts a mask for the subject, then you can keep transparency, fill a color, or blur the original background.

Input: JPG, PNG, WEBP, GIF, BMP.

How to use Background Remover

  1. Drop one or more images onto Background Remover.
  2. Tune the options. The before/after preview updates live.
  3. Process the batch.
  4. Download a single image, or everything as a ZIP.

Tips

  • Photos with a clear subject and contrasting background give the cleanest edges.
  • Export as PNG or WebP to keep transparency.

Background Remover FAQ

Why does the first use take longer?
The AI model (about 40 MB) downloads once and is cached by your browser. Your image is never uploaded.
Are my files uploaded?
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser tab. Files are read from your disk into memory and the result is generated locally.
Is it free? Are there limits or watermarks?
Free and open source (MIT). There are no file-size caps, daily quotas, accounts or watermarks.
Does it work offline?
Yes, once the page (and any engine it needs) has loaded, it keeps working without a connection thanks to the service worker cache.
