How to find the background
Not sure which to use? Try an example.
Each loads a picture that mode handles well, with its settings already applied.
Turn on AI mode?
This downloads a 7.6 MB model once. After that it is stored on this device and works offline, including with no connection.
The model comes to your browser; your image still never leaves it. Nothing is uploaded either way.
AI mode finds the subject rather than matching colours, so it handles busy backgrounds. The edge is interpolated from a 320-pixel grid, so on a plain backdrop the colour modes still give a crisper one.
Adjust the cut
How different a pixel can be and still count as background. Raise it if speckles are left behind, lower it if the subject is being eaten.
Negative shrinks the subject to cut off a halo. Positive grows it back.
Turn this off to clear background showing through gaps — the middle of an O, the space inside a handle.
Un-mixes the old background from semi-transparent edge pixels, which is what stops a white halo or a green rim.
Fix it by hand
Paint over anything the automatic pass got wrong. Strokes survive every other change, so you can keep adjusting afterwards.

Common questions
Is my image uploaded anywhere?
No. The page has no server to upload to. Your picture is decoded by the browser, processed by a worker running on your own machine, and discarded when you close the tab. You can check it yourself: open the network tab and remove a background — nothing is sent.
Is it really free, and where is the watermark?
Free, no account, no limit on how many images, and no watermark. The page is static files on free hosting, so once it has loaded there is nothing left to pay for and nothing to charge you for.
Will it cut hair out of a busy photograph?
No, and it says so rather than pretending. This works by matching colour, so it is excellent on a plain or near-plain backdrop — product shots, logos, signatures, screenshots, green screens — and poor on a subject photographed against a cluttered scene. Tools that manage that case run a neural network and need tens of megabytes of model weights downloaded first.
Why is there a faint outline around my cutout?
Edge pixels are a genuine mix of subject and background, so after keying they still carry the old background's colour. Leave "Remove colour fringe" on and it is un-mixed arithmetically. If a rim survives, nudge the edge shift negative by one or two to shave it off.
Why does part of my subject disappear?
Its colour is too close to the background. Lower the tolerance first; if that leaves speckles instead, keep the tolerance low and paint the rest out with the brush. On a photo with both a light background and a light subject, picking the exact background colour usually beats automatic.
Can I use the results commercially?
Yes. The image is yours, the result is yours, and there is no attribution requirement. Nothing is added to the file.
