How it works
This tool runs the BRIA RMBG-1.4 background-removal model — the same one used by professional design tools — entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly + ONNX runtime. Your image never leaves your device. The first run takes 30–60 seconds to download the AI model (~50 MB). After that, every image processes in 2–5 seconds.
Why "in-browser" matters
- Privacy: sensitive images (product mockups, ID photos, family pictures) never touch a server.
- No usage limits: we can't rate-limit you because we don't see what you do.
- Offline after first load: once the model is cached, this tool works without internet.
- Free forever: no API costs to us means no paywall to you.
Tips for best results
- Subject should be clearly distinguishable from the background (good contrast, not blurred into the scene).
- Photos of people, products, animals, plants work best. Complex scenes with overlapping subjects can confuse the model.
- Hair and fur edges typically look great. Glass and translucent objects are the hardest cases for any AI model.
- For perfectly clean edges on professional product shots, consider a paid tool like Replicate (better models) or human touch-up.
Frequently asked
Why does the first image take so long?
The AI model has to download to your browser the first time (~50 MB). Subsequent images process in seconds because the model is cached.
Is my image really not uploaded?
Correct — open your browser's Network tab while you process an image and you'll see no outbound traffic during processing. Only the model download and the page itself touch the network.
Can I use the result commercially?
Yes. The output PNG is yours. The underlying RMBG-1.4 model is licensed for non-commercial AND commercial use under separate license tiers — see the model card. For purely commercial work at scale, the paid Bria license or Replicate's hosted version handles the licensing for you.
