Is my photo uploaded to a server?

No. The AI model is downloaded to your browser and runs there, so your photo never leaves your device.

Why does the first run take longer?

Your browser has to download the processing engine and the model, about 16 MB in total. After that they are cached and later runs start much faster.

How good are the results?

It works best on photos with one clear subject, such as a product, person, pet or logo. It uses a small general-purpose model, so very fine details like hair or glass, or busy backgrounds in similar colors, may not be perfect. Use the edge refinement sliders to improve the result.

Is there a size limit?

Photos up to 15 MB are accepted. Images larger than 4096 pixels on the longest side are reduced to that size before processing.

Current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari that support WebAssembly. Very old browsers or devices with very little free memory may fail, and you will see a message explaining that.

Does it cost anything?

No. It is free, with no watermark, and does not call a paid third-party service.

How it works: an AI model (U²-Net, a small open-source model) runs inside your browser. Your photo is not uploaded. The first time, your browser downloads about 16 MB (the engine and the model), then it is cached. Works best on a clear main subject such as a product, person, pet or logo.

Results depend on the photo. Fine details such as hair, fur or glass may not be perfect, and the AI can misjudge the subject when the background is busy or similar in color.
