FAQ

Is my image uploaded?

No. Both methods run in this browser. The AI model is downloaded once from this site and cached, and your image never leaves your device.

Which method should I use?

AI works best for photos of people, products and animals. Remove a color is best for logos and graphics on a plain background, because it keeps edges crisp.

Which AI model is used?

U²-Net (u2netp), an open-source salient object detection model released under the Apache 2.0 license, running with ONNX Runtime Web. It is small and fast, so very fine details such as hair may be softer than with large paid services.

What image formats are supported?

PNG, JPG, WebP, AVIF, GIF and BMP up to 30 MB. Download the result as PNG for a transparent background or JPG for a solid-color background.

Can I put the subject on a custom background color?

Yes. After removing the background, choose a background color instead of transparent. The subject will be composited onto that color in the downloaded image.
