Remove image background
To remove a background, drop a photo here and the subject is cut out as a transparent PNG. Free, with no watermark, and the AI runs on your device, so the photo is never uploaded.
What's in the picture
Tuned for portraits and photos of people. Small and quick.
New background
Leaves the background transparent. Save as PNG or WebP.
Best for people; quick on any device.
Downloads once on first use, then runs offline. Your images are never uploaded.
PNG and WebP keep the transparent background. Pick a new background above if you want a JPG.
How did this tool do?

Most background removers turn loose strands into mush. Drag the handle and look along the edge of the hair: this is the model's raw output on this photo, with no touch-ups, produced on the device you're reading this on.
- Transparent PNG or WebP, ready to drop onto any background
- The photo never leaves your browser — no upload, no account
- 26 MB model, downloaded once and then reused from the browser cache
How to use it
- 01Drop a photo, or paste one with Ctrl+V.
- 02Pick People or Anything, then tap Remove background — the model downloads on the first run.
- 03Compare with the original and download a transparent PNG.
Removing backgrounds, answered
Which model should I choose?
People is the smaller download (26 MB) and is tuned for portraits. Anything is bigger (115 MB) and handles products, objects and animals — it needs WebGPU, which Chrome and Edge have.
Why is my download a PNG?
JPG can't store transparency. PNG and WebP can, so the cutout keeps its clear background.
The edges aren't perfect — can I fix them?
For a plain background, the Transparent tool gives you manual control over the colour and tolerance. For hair and fine detail, the Anything model usually does better than People.
Is my image sent to a server?
No. The AI model itself is downloaded to your browser the first time you use the tool, then everything runs on your device — the image never leaves it. After that first download the tool works offline.
