Does my image get uploaded anywhere?

No. The AI model is downloaded to your browser and inference runs on your device using WebAssembly. Your image is never transmitted to any server.

Why does the first removal take a while?

The first run downloads the removal model (a one-time download, cached by your browser afterwards). Subsequent removals start immediately.

Can I use Background Remover on a phone or offline?

Yes. The layout adapts to phones and tablets, and because the logic ships as static client-side code, Background Remover keeps working on intermittent connections once the page has loaded.

What exactly does Background Remover do?

AI background removal, fully on-device Remove image backgrounds using an AI model that runs entirely inside your browser — no uploads, no API keys, no watermarks. Also includes an instant color-key mode for solid backgrounds.
