How to remove a background

  1. Drop a photo of a person above, or click Try a sample
  2. The first time, the AI downloads once (about 14 MB). Then the background is removed in a few seconds
  3. Keep it transparent, or pick a color, a blur of the original, or your own photo
  4. Tap Make it a sticker for a white outline and soft shadow, like WhatsApp and Instagram stickers
  5. Hold Compare to see the original, then Download the PNG

Good to know

  • Two AIs and a filter: one AI finds the subject (people, pets, products), a second cuts people finely around it, and an edge filter makes the border follow your photo. Touch up anything with the Keep and Erase brushes, zoomed in.
  • Private by design: the AI model is downloaded from this website and runs in your browser. Your photo is never sent anywhere.
  • Stickers: a 15–30 px white outline with a soft shadow gives the classic sticker look. Download as PNG to keep the transparency.
  • Instagram ideas: put the cut-out on a blush or beige background for a clean profile picture, or add it to a carousel.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about the background remover tool.

What is the difference between Standard and HD?

Standard uses two small models (14 MB once) and is quick, with fine hair on people. HD uses IS-Net, a 44 MB model fetched once from Hugging Face, takes 10–30 seconds and gives sharper edges on products, clothes and busy backgrounds. Tap “See both on sample photos” to compare before downloading it.

Is this background remover free?

Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no limit, because the AI runs on your own device.

Is my photo uploaded?

No. The AI model is downloaded to your browser once and the photo is processed there.

Why does it take longer the first time?

The AI (about 14 MB) downloads once. After that it is kept in your browser, so the next photos are much faster.

Which photos work best?

A clear subject: people, pets, products, statues. Choose People only for selfies in busy places. Fix small leftovers with the Erase and Keep brushes.

How do I make a sticker?

Tap Make it a sticker: it adds a white outline and a soft shadow. Change the outline width and color, then download the PNG.
