Frequently asked questions
Is my photo uploaded to your servers?
No. The AI runs entirely on your device. Your photo is never uploaded — which makes this tool safe for product photos, client work and personal pictures alike.
Why does the first run take a while?
The background-removal AI model is downloaded once (about 40 MB for the Small model). After that first download, removal runs fully offline on your device. Downloading the model is not the same as uploading your photo.
How is this different from remove.bg?
Online services like remove.bg process your photos on their servers (and remove.bg is shutting down on December 1, 2026). This tool does the same job locally in your browser, with no account, no upload and no per-image fees. This page is not affiliated with remove.bg.
What backgrounds can I choose?
Transparent PNG (great for product listings and design work), plain white, or any custom color. Background Remover Pro adds batch processing for whole folders of photos.
