Why this size
How it removes backgrounds without uploading
Most background removers send your photo to their servers. This one downloads a small AI model to your browser instead and runs it on your own device.
The model finds the person or object in the photo and builds a soft-edged mask around it, so hair and edges stay natural. The result is a PNG with a transparent background, ready for designs, slides and product listings, and your photo never leaves your computer or phone.

Common problems and fixes
- Hair or fur edges look roughThe model works best with good contrast. Use a photo where the subject is lit evenly and stands out from the background.
- Part of the subject was removedBusy backgrounds in the same color as the subject confuse the model. Try a photo with a plainer background, or crop closer first.
- It takes long the first timeThe AI model downloads once and is then cached. The next photos take a few seconds.

How the tool works
An open AI model (BiRefNet-lite on devices with WebGPU, otherwise MODNet) downloads to your browser once and finds the person or object in the photo. It builds a soft-edged mask, then removes the background or places a solid color behind the cut-out. Everything happens in your browser; your images are never uploaded.
