API for your website
API idle. Another website can open this remover as a popup and send a photo for processing.
For AI agents & bots
Machine-readable spec of the popup API. Requires a JavaScript-capable client — the neural engine runs locally in the browser, there is no REST endpoint.
Download check & diagnostics
Every model download is byte-checked. If anything fails, copy the log below and send it to us.
No. 01 Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. The model downloads once into your browser cache, then everything runs locally on your device (WebGPU when available, CPU fallback otherwise). Close the tab and nothing remains on any server — because nothing was ever sent.
No. 02 Fast or Quality — which model?
Fast (44MB) is the recommended default: tiny download, quick on phones, clean masks for people, products and pets. Quality (88MB) keeps finer hair and semi-transparent edges — pick it for portraits and tricky fur.
No. 03 What do the fine-tune sliders do?
Threshold sets where the mask cuts: higher keeps only confident foreground (no halo), lower keeps wispy hair. Feather softens the edge by a few pixels. Expand grows (+) or shrinks (−) the mask to swallow leftover background fringe or reclaim edge detail. Sliders re-render instantly from the cached mask — the model runs only once.
No. 04 Model licenses — what must I know?
Both models are MIT-licensed ISNet general-use weights (imgly base, community int8 quantization) — free for personal and commercial use. Full list with links is in the license panel below.

How AI background removal works
The background remover segments your photo with the ISNet neural network at 1024px resolution and exports a transparent PNG — right in your browser. Two quality levels cover quick cutouts and detailed edges with hair and fur, while threshold, expand and feather sliders re-render the mask instantly without re-running the model.
Private by design
Both models run locally via WebGPU with CPU fallback. Your photos are never uploaded, stored, or used for training. Please edit only your own works or content you have consent to use.
Engine: ISNet 1x segmentation at 1024px, running locally via onnxruntime-web (WebGPU with CPU fallback). Mask post-processing (threshold, expand, feather) re-renders instantly without re-running the model.
