FAQ
It uses Google MediaPipe SelfieSegmenter, a machine learning model that runs entirely in your browser via WebAssembly. The model analyzes each pixel and classifies it as "person" or "background," then creates a transparent mask for the background pixels.
No. Your image never leaves your browser. The entire AI processing happens locally using WebAssembly and JavaScript. No data is sent to any server, ensuring complete privacy.
The tool accepts JPG, PNG, and WEBP images up to 10MB. The output is always a PNG file with transparent background (alpha channel).
On modern hardware, background removal typically takes 1-3 seconds per image. The first use requires loading the AI model (~5MB), which takes a few extra seconds. Subsequent uses are faster because the model is cached.
The tool works best with images that have a clear person or subject against a relatively distinct background. High-resolution photos with good lighting produce the best results. Very busy backgrounds or subjects that blend into the background may produce less accurate results.
