Private by design

Unlike remove.bg and other online removers, your photo is never uploaded. The BiRefNet-lite AI model runs on your device, using your graphics card (WebGPU) when available and the CPU otherwise. Small subjects get a second, zoomed-in pass for sharper edges. There is no watermark, sign-up, or limit.

The first run downloads the 98 MB model from this site and stores it in your browser, so later runs start quickly and work offline.

Background remover FAQs

How do I remove the background from an image?

Drop, paste, or choose a PNG, JPG, or WebP photo. The AI finds the subject and removes the background automatically in a few seconds. Then download the transparent PNG or copy it to your clipboard.

Is this background remover free?

Yes. It is completely free with no sign-up, no watermark, no credits, and no limit on how many images you process. Downloads are full resolution.

Are my photos uploaded to a server?

No. The BiRefNet AI model runs entirely in your browser, using your graphics card (WebGPU) when available and the CPU otherwise. Your photo never leaves your device.

How do I make a transparent background PNG?

Remove the background, keep "New background" set to Transparent, and click Download PNG. The PNG keeps full transparency, so you can place it on any design, slide, or website.

Can I replace the background with white or another color?

Yes. Set "New background" to Solid color and pick white or any color. This is useful for product photos, marketplace listings, and ID or profile pictures.

Does it work on hair, fur, and fine edges?

Yes. BiRefNet is trained for high-detail cut-outs, so hair and fur are kept. Choose Soft edges to keep fine strands, or Crisp edges for a cleaner outline on products and logos.

Can I remove the background from a logo or signature?

Yes. Upload a photo or scan of the logo or signature and download it as a transparent PNG. Crisp edges usually look best for flat graphics.

Does the background remover work offline?

After the first use, yes. The 98 MB AI model is stored in your browser, so later removals start quickly and work without an internet connection.
