How to background remover — free to use

  1. 01

    Upload your image

    Drop a JPG, PNG, WebP or HEIC file into the uploader, paste it with Ctrl+V, or paste an image URL.

  2. 02

    AI removes the background

    Our segmentation model finds the subject and cuts it out with soft, hair-level edges in a few seconds.

  3. 03

    Download or edit

    Download a transparent PNG, or swap in a solid colour, a photo or a blurred background first.

How we can offer it free

Running a large AI model isn't free for us — every image uses real computing time. We cover it with people who need full-resolution files: online stores, agencies and developers using the API. Their credits pay for the free tier, so free users get the same quality model rather than a watered-down one.

Compare it yourself

The fairest test is your own photo. Run the same tricky image — curly hair, a pet, a glass bottle — through a couple of background removers and put the results on a dark background. Halos and chopped edges show up immediately. We're happy to be compared that way.
