Runs in your browser — your file never leaves your deviceFrequently asked questions
Does this work on any photo, or just portraits?
It works on people, products, animals and most subjects with a reasonably distinct edge against the background. Very fine detail like flyaway hair or fur can be less precise than a professional edit.
Is this actually processed on my device, or uploaded to a server?
Fully on your device — it uses an in-browser machine-learning model, so your photo never leaves your computer or phone, even though background removal usually needs a server elsewhere.
Is Remove Background free to use?
Yes — Remove Background is completely free with no limits, no watermarks and no sign-up. It runs in your browser, so there is nothing to pay for.
Are my files uploaded or stored anywhere?
No. This tool does all its work locally in your browser using your own device's power. Your files never leave your device and we never see them.
Do I need to install anything or create an account?
No installation and no account needed. Remove Background works on any modern browser — Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and iPhone.
How do I use Remove Background?
Open the tool, add your file (or paste your content), adjust any options, then press “Remove background”. Your result is ready to download in seconds.
