Erase the background from a photo with an on-device AI model and export a transparent PNG — or swap in white or a custom colour. The AI model (~25 MB) downloads once on first use; your image itself is never uploaded.

How to Use Background Remover
Upload an image — click the drop box, drag a file in, or paste with Ctrl/⌘+V.
Click Remove Background — the first run downloads the MODNet model (about 25 MB) once and shows a progress bar; later runs start instantly from the browser cache.
Pick a background — keep it transparent, switch to white, or choose a custom colour.
Soften the edges with the Edge feather slider if the cut-out looks harsh.
Download the result as a transparent no-background.png.
Why the first run is slower
The cut-out is powered by the MODNet model running entirely in your browser through WebAssembly. The ~25 MB model is downloaded and cached once, so only the very first run has a wait. After that the analysis happens on your own device and no image data is ever sent to a server.
Features
One-click AI background removal powered by the MODNet model, running fully on device.
Transparent PNG output, plus a white or custom background colour when you need a flat backdrop.
Edge feather slider for smoother, more natural outlines.
One-time model download (~25 MB) cached by the browser — images are processed locally afterwards.
Large photos are analysed at a reduced size and the mask is upscaled, so high-resolution images do not stall the browser.
