Choose photos to clean up
Drop in one photo or a whole batch. JPG, PNG and WebP are supported — there’s no limit on how many you add.
Your photos are processed locally and never uploaded
Photos stay in your browser and are never uploaded. The AI model itself downloads once from IMG.LY and is cached for later visits.
Results vary with the photo — it works best with a clear, well-lit subject against a simpler background.
Output is a PNG with a transparent background, ready to drop onto any new backdrop.

Frequently asked questions
How does the background remover work?
An AI segmentation model runs in your browser, identifies the main subject in the photo, and produces a new PNG copy with everything outside that subject made transparent.
Are my photos uploaded anywhere?
No. The photo is processed entirely on your device. The only thing downloaded is the AI model itself, once, the first time you use the tool — it's then cached by your browser.
Will it always cut out the subject perfectly?
Results vary with the photo. It works best with a clear, well-lit subject against a simpler background, and can struggle with fine detail like loose hair strands or busy backgrounds.
What file types are supported?
JPG, PNG and WebP. The result is always exported as a PNG so the transparent background is preserved.
Can I process several photos at once?
Yes. Add as many as you like — there's no limit — and download each one individually or as a single ZIP file.
Does this modify my original file?
No. A new image is created from your photo; the original file on your device is never changed.
