Remove an Image Background
Create a transparent PNG from a JPG, PNG, or WebP image using a segmentation model that runs in your browser. Your image is not uploaded; the model downloads when you start processing.
Your image stays on this device. Processing happens locally in your browser. The model downloads the first time you use the tool.

Limits and privacy
The browser downloads the segmentation model on first use, then processes your image locally in a Web Worker. Images are limited to 50 MB and very large sources are downscaled to keep memory use manageable. Results depend on the image and segmentation model; inspect the preview before using the PNG.
Frequently asked questions
Is my image uploaded to remove its background?
No. The image is processed locally in a browser worker. On first use, the browser downloads the model files from Hugging Face; those model files are separate from your image.
Why can the first run take a while?
The browser may need to download and cache the segmentation model. Download time depends on your connection and available device memory.
Does the PNG keep transparency?
Yes. The result is a PNG with the model's segmentation mask applied to its alpha channel.
