How it works
Drop your image
Any PNG, JPG, or WebP photo — it stays on your device.
AI runs locally
A segmentation neural network runs right in your browser via WebGPU or WebAssembly. The model downloads once — nothing is ever uploaded.

A better avatar in three clicks
A cluttered background is the most common thing standing between a phone photo and a professional-looking avatar. Removing it — and optionally replacing it with a clean solid color — instantly reads as intentional. The AI handles hair edges and shoulders well on typical portrait photos; front-facing, well-lit shots give the cleanest cutouts.
Because everything runs locally, this also works for photos you would not upload to a random website — kids' school avatars, work badge photos, or anything private. Paste a photo straight from your clipboard with Ctrl+V.
Frequently asked questions
Safer than any upload-based tool: the AI runs entirely in your browser, so your photo never leaves your device. There is no server, no account, and nothing stored — a real difference for personal photos.
Yes. After the background is removed you can pick a background color — white for job applications, a brand color for team pages, or anything else — and download the composited PNG. Switching colors is instant; the AI only runs once.
It uses ISNet, a dichotomous image segmentation network trained on people, products, animals, and everyday objects. Results are sharp for most photos; very fine details like wispy hair or fur are the hardest cases for any background remover.
The AI model (~88 MB) is downloaded the first time you use the tool and cached by your browser. After that, processing starts instantly — and works even offline.
Yes. The background remover is completely free, with no signup, watermarks, or limits. We make money from our video translation service, not from this tool.
No. The processing happens locally in your browser using WebAssembly. Your file never leaves your device — you can even disconnect from the internet once the page has loaded.
