One tool, many jobs
Pick the use case closest to what you need.
Cleaning up exports
Design tools sometimes flatten layers and export PNGs with a white or colored background. Strip that out without re-exporting. You skip the round trip back to the original design file and end up with a transparent asset ready to use in any layout.
Icon and graphic cleanup
Icons grabbed off the web often come on a flat background. Make them transparent so you can drop them onto any color or texture. The result blends in with dark themes and light themes alike, with no white halo around the shape.
Photo edits
If you've already converted a JPG to PNG to preserve edits, this gives you a transparent version without going back to the original. Your retouching, color grading, and crop work all carry through to the new transparent cutout with no extra steps.

Quick answers
Everything worth knowing about the background remover.
Existing transparency is respected. The tool only modifies pixels behind the detected subject; areas already transparent stay transparent. That means partially clipped subjects and feathered edges are not flattened or filled in during processing.
The AI outputs soft alpha edges, so cutouts blend cleanly over new backgrounds. You won't get the hard-edge look of a basic chroma-key tool. The result holds up well at larger sizes, where harsh jagged edges from older tools tend to become very obvious.
Not yet. Drop one image at a time. Batch is on the roadmap once we add a multi-file dropzone with per-file progress. For now, queuing a handful of one-off images takes only a few seconds each once the model has been cached after the first run.
JPEG, PNG, and WebP for input. The output is always a transparent PNG so you can layer it over any background.
Yes. iPhone, iPad, and Android browsers are fully supported. The processing happens on our server, so device memory is not a constraint.
Yes. The tool only modifies your image, you keep the rights you had to the original. Make sure you have permission for the source photo.
About two seconds per image once a server is warm. A request after a long idle period can take up to 30 seconds for the model to spin back up.
