Guide: remove image backgrounds with AI in the browser
Cutting out a background usually means heavy editors or paid services that upload your file. Here, processing runs locally with an AI model loaded by your browser via WebAssembly — the image never leaves your device.
It works well for product shots, portraits, social covers, and internal mockups. The model is downloaded on first use (around 40–80 MB) and cached afterwards, so subsequent runs are much faster and work even with a flaky connection.
The output is a PNG with a transparent alpha channel, ready for slides, e-commerce, landing pages, or composites in any external editor.
Step by step
- Select or drop your image — Accepts PNG, JPG, WebP, or BMP up to 12 MB. For larger files, compress them first using another site tool.
- Wait for the model to load — The first run downloads the AI model; the progress bar shows the status and the download is cached for next time.
- Review the result — Original image is on the left, transparent PNG on the right, with a checker background to highlight transparency.
- Download the transparent PNG — Use the download button to save. To compare variations, click "Change image" and try another file.
