Background Remover is a free tool that removes the background from images entirely in your browser using AI, with nothing uploaded. It produces a transparent PNG or a solid colour background, supports batch processing of up to 150 images, runs on WebGPU when available with an automatic processor fallback, and works for people, products, animals and other objects.

Files are processed in your browser and never uploaded.

How to use AI background remover

  1. Add your files

    Drop up to 150 image files onto the upload area, or tap the area to choose them from your device.

    Press Remove background, Don →. The button stays disabled until there is something to work on, and each file shows its own progress and result.

What this tool does

AI background removal in your browser

A segmentation model runs on your device and separates the subject from the background. It downloads once and is then cached, so later images are quicker.

No upload, fully private

The image is decoded, cut out and saved by your browser. Nothing is uploaded, which is what makes it usable for photos you would not want to send to a server.

Transparent or solid colour background

Leave the background transparent for a PNG you can drop onto anything, or replace it with white, black or a colour you pick.

Batch up to 150 images

Add up to 150 JPG, PNG or WebP images at once and each one is cut out in turn with its own preview.

WebGPU accelerated with CPU fallback

Engine uses your GPU through WebGPU where the browser supports it and falls back to the CPU where it does not, so it still works on older machines.

Frequently asked questions

How many images can I do at once, and will it slow my device?

You can add up to 150 images at a time. Background removal runs a real AI model inside your browser, so it uses your device's processor or graphics card and memory. A modern laptop or phone handles single images quickly; large batches or very large images use more memory and take longer, especially without a graphics card. If your device struggles, do fewer images at a time.

Are my images uploaded anywhere?

No. Everything happens inside your browser. Your images never leave your device and are never sent to a server, which is why it stays completely private and free.

Is it as good as remove.bg?

It uses a current state-of-the-art open AI model and gets very close on most photos of people, products, animals and objects. Paid services like remove.bg add extra server-side edge refinement, so on very fine details such as wispy hair or fur the result may differ. For most everyday images the quality is excellent.

Why does it download something the first time?

The AI model runs on your device, so it is downloaded once (roughly 45 to 170 MB depending on the quality you pick) and then cached by your browser. After that, removals are fast and work even offline until you clear your browser data.

Why is it faster on some devices, and what is the engine setting?

By default it runs on your processor (CPU), which works on every device. You can switch the Engine setting to GPU for much faster processing if your graphics card supports it, but some graphics cards cannot run this model and will automatically fall back to the processor. The badge shows which mode is active.

Can I put a solid colour behind the subject?

Yes. By default you get a transparent PNG, but you can choose a white, black or custom colour background. The download is always a PNG so transparency is preserved when you pick transparent.
