Background Remover

Background Remover

Remove image backgrounds — privately, in your browser.

POC note: proof-of-concept running open background-removal models entirely in the browser via transformers.js. Mix of commercial and non-commercial weights; production swap is a config change, not an architecture change — same runtime, same browser, same zero-upload story.
🌐

Connected — privacy mode available

After model loads, disconnect from the internet. The app still works. That's the only privacy proof that matters.

🔒 Verify the privacy claim yourself

The simplest way to confirm your image never leaves this device:

Disconnect from the internet.

Turn off your Wi-Fi → background removal keeps working. The banner up top turns green.

Each model downloads once on first use, then is cached for next time.

Why this is different

🔒

Files never leave your computer

remove.bg, Photoroom, Adobe Express all send your photo to a server. We don't.

💰

No per-image fees

remove.bg charges $0.20–$2 per image. Adobe locks features behind subscriptions. Ours is free.

Fast after first load

First visit downloads the AI model (~80 MB, cached). After that, 1–3 seconds per image.

📱

Works on your phone

Same architecture in mobile browsers. Modern iPhones and Android handle it fine.

🆕

State-of-the-art open AI

Uses BiRefNet (2024 SOTA, MIT-licensed). Quality matches paid services.

🎨

Custom backgrounds

Transparent PNG, solid color, or your own image. Exports with full alpha channel.

How it works

1

Drop an image

JPG, PNG, or WebP. Your browser reads it — no upload happens.

2

AI runs on your computer

The model executes locally. About 1–3 seconds per image.

3

See the cutout

The predicted foreground and the final cutout, side-by-side.

4

Save or customize

Save as transparent PNG, or pick a custom background. All locally.

That's how you know nothing ever leaves your computer.

remove.bg, Photoroom, Adobe Express — they all send your photos to a server. We don't. There's no test you can run on us that we'd fail.
