How to remove a background from a photo
- Add your image. Drag a JPG, PNG or WebP onto the box, click to choose one, or paste a screenshot with Ctrl+V. You can add several images at once.
- Wait a few seconds. The first time, your browser downloads the AI model (it is cached afterwards, so later images start instantly). The AI then finds the main subject and removes everything else.
- Pick a new background. Keep it transparent, switch to pure white for marketplaces, or choose any brand color.
- Download. Transparent results are saved as PNG; white or colored backgrounds are saved as high-quality JPG.
What can you use it for?
- Product photos for Amazon, eBay, Etsy and Shopify. Amazon requires a pure white background for main product images — remove the background, choose White, and you are done.
- Profile pictures and headshots for LinkedIn, résumés and company websites.
- Design work: drop cut-outs into thumbnails, flyers, presentations, social posts and ads.
- Stickers and memes with clean transparent edges.
Best (42 MB) vs Fast (4 MB)
Both settings use U²-Net, an open-source salient-object segmentation network. Best uses the full-size network and gives cleaner edges around hair, fur and fine detail. Fast uses a tiny version that downloads ten times quicker — handy on slow mobile data, and good enough for simple product shots on plain backgrounds. Either way, the download happens only once per browser.
Tips for the cleanest cut-out
- Use a photo where the subject is in focus and clearly separated from the background.
- Good lighting and contrast between subject and background help the AI most.
- For group photos, the AI keeps the most prominent people or objects. Crop to your subject first with the image cropper if needed.
- Very large photos are processed at up to 4096 pixels on the long side — more than enough for any marketplace or website. Use the image compressor afterwards to make the file smaller.
Why is this background remover private?
Most background removal sites upload your photo to their servers. This tool works differently: the AI model runs inside your web browser using WebAssembly. Your images are never sent anywhere, there is no account, no credit system and no watermark — and the result is full resolution, not a low-res preview.
Frequently asked questions
Is this background remover really free?
Yes. There are no credits, no watermarks and no resolution limits. The site is supported by advertising.
Are my photos uploaded to a server?
No. The AI model is downloaded to your browser and all processing happens on your own device.
Why does the first image take longer?
Your browser has to download the AI model once (4 MB or 42 MB). After that it is cached and new images are processed in a few seconds.
How do I get a white background for Amazon?
After the background is removed, choose “White” and download the JPG. Amazon main images need a pure white (RGB 255, 255, 255) background, which this produces.
Does it work on phones?
Yes, on modern iPhone and Android browsers. Very large photos may take longer on older phones; the Fast model helps.
