How background removal works
The tool uses a detection model that runs in the browser to tell the main subject of the image apart from the background. It identifies the subject's edges and removes everything around it, leaving a PNG image with a transparent background. All of this happens locally on your device.
When the result is best
Automatic background removal works best when there is a clear main subject with good contrast from the background. Images with curly hair, fine details, or a complex background may need manual touch-ups in an additional editing tool.
Privacy
All image processing happens in your browser. The image is not uploaded, not stored, and not sent to analytics. The model runs locally on your device.
