How to remove a background
One photo in, a clean transparent PNG out — all on your device.
- 1
Add your image
Drag in or browse for a JPG, PNG or WebP. It stays on your device — nothing is uploaded.
- 2
Click Remove background
The AI finds your subject and cuts out everything behind it. The first run downloads the model (~a few MB) once, then it’s cached.
- 3
Watch the progress bar
Removal happens right in your browser. A progress bar shows the model download and the cut-out as they run.

Preview on the checkerboard
The result sits on a neutral checkerboard so you can clearly see the transparent areas before you save.

Remove Background — FAQ
Is this background remover really free?
Yes — remove the background from your photos free, with no signup and no watermark. An optional Pro membership (NZ$9/mo) adds batch processing so you can clean up a whole set of photos at once, but the free tool is fully usable on its own.
Are my photos uploaded anywhere?
No. The AI model runs directly in your browser, so your image never leaves your device — nothing is uploaded or stored online. Only the model weights are downloaded once (and then cached by your browser).
What format do I get back?
A PNG with a fully transparent background, so you can place your subject on any colour, gradient or photo. PNG is the right choice because it’s the standard format that supports transparency.
Can I use it for product shots or property listings?
Absolutely. It’s ideal for cleaning up product photos for Trade Me or your store, tidying profile pictures, and creating crisp cut-outs for NZ property and listing graphics so the subject pops on a clean background.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes — it runs in any modern mobile or desktop browser, with no app to install. The first run downloads the model, so a Wi-Fi connection helps the first time on mobile.
Why is the first run a bit slower?
The very first removal downloads the AI model (a few MB) and warms it up. After that it’s cached on your device, so every photo after the first is much faster.
