How to Remove Background from an Image in Seconds

Removing a background used to mean minutes of lasso-tool work. Modern AI models detect the subject in a single pass — and now that runs entirely inside your browser, on your device, with zero uploads.

How browser-based background removal works

A neural network (an ONNX model) processes the image and predicts a pixel-level mask: subject or background. The first run downloads the model once, then everything is cached locally.

  1. 1

    Upload your image

    JPG, PNG or WEBP, up to 50 MB. Drag, browse or paste from clipboard.

  2. 2

    AI cuts out the subject

    Hair, fur and fine edges are detected automatically — no manual selection.

  3. 3

    Refine & replace

    Swap in a color, gradient, blur, or another photo. Use the restore/erase brushes for tricky spots.

  4. 4

    Export

    Download a transparent PNG, colored PNG, JPG or WEBP — or the whole batch as a ZIP.

Before / after

Where transparent PNGs shine

  • E-commerce product photos with clean, consistent backdrops.
  • Logos and social media assets that adapt to any color.
  • YouTube thumbnails that pop against bright backgrounds.
  • Presentations and documents where photos must blend in.

Tips for clean edges

  • Shoot the subject against a contrasting background.
  • Light hair — use the hair refinement and restore brush.
  • Use the erase brush for leftover shadow blobs.
  • Export PNG for crisp transparency, JPG for small file size.
