Background Remover

Any browser-decodable format including JPEG, PNG, WebP, BMP, and GIF. Animated GIFs are processed as their first frame. Output is always a 32-bit PNG with an alpha channel so transparency is preserved when you drop the image into Photoshop, Figma, or any other design tool.

The tool accepts images up to 20 megabytes. Larger images are rejected with an alert. Because processing is single-pass and synchronous, very large images (over 8 megapixels) may take a few seconds but will still complete in your browser without any upload.

No. The entire background-removal algorithm runs on-device using the Canvas API. Your images never touch our servers, never touch a third-party API, and never leave your computer. You can verify this by opening your browser DevTools Network tab and watching zero requests fire when you click Remove Background.

remove.bg uses a deep neural network trained on millions of labeled images and handles complex edges like hair and fur. Our algorithm is much simpler (edge-color sampling) and works best on solid backgrounds. The trade-off is that ours is 100% free, unlimited, watermark-free, and works fully offline. For product photography on white backgrounds, the quality is comparable.

PNG supports an alpha channel that lets pixels be partially or fully transparent. When you place the result on a colored background in any design tool, the original background color shows through. If you need a flat solid color background instead, open the result in any image editor and add the background layer you want.

Not in this tool. It processes one image at a time so you can verify each result. If you need batch processing, you can chain the tool with a local script using a headless browser, or use a dedicated desktop app.
