How AI background removal works
This tool uses RMBG-1.4, an open-source segmentation model by BRIA AI, to separate a subject from its background. The model runs via Transformers.js and ONNX Runtime WebAssembly directly on your device. The first use downloads the model (~45 MB) from HuggingFace CDN and caches it; subsequent uses are instant. Your images never leave your device.

Frequently asked questions
Is my image uploaded anywhere?
No. The AI model runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Your pixels never leave your device.
Why does it take a while the first time?
The RMBG-1.4 model (~45 MB) downloads from HuggingFace CDN on first use. It's then cached in your browser so future uses are instant — even offline.
What types of images work best?
Photos with a clear subject against a contrasting background — portraits, product shots, and objects. Busy or low-contrast backgrounds are harder for any model.
What format is the output?
Always a PNG with a transparent background (alpha channel). PNG is the only lossless format that supports transparency.
