Questions

Is my photo uploaded to a server?

No. The background is removed by your own web browser on your own computer. Your photo is never sent to us and never saved by us.

What kind of photos work best?

Photos of people, such as portraits and selfies, with the person clearly in front of the background. It is not made for products, pets or other objects.

How do I get a transparent background?

Choose Transparent and download. The file is saved as a PNG, which keeps the transparent background.

Why is it slow the first time?

The first time, your browser downloads the background removal engine, about 10 MB. After that it is saved in your browser and works in about a second.
