Background Remover

Remove Image Background Free Online

Remove the background from any photo instantly using AI. The machine learning model runs entirely in your browser via WebAssembly — your image is never uploaded to any server.

How it works

1. Upload your image — JPG or PNG up to 50MB. The first use downloads the AI model (~50MB) to your browser — this happens once and is cached for future uses.
2. AI removes the background — the model identifies the foreground subject and removes everything behind it with clean, precise edges.
3. Download transparent PNG — the result is a PNG with a fully transparent background, ready to place on any color or design.

When to use background removal

• Product photos for e-commerce — clean white or transparent background
• Profile photos — remove distracting backgrounds
• Design work — isolate subjects for use in graphics
• Social media — place subjects on branded backgrounds

Frequently asked questions

How does the background remover work?

It uses a machine learning model that runs via WebAssembly directly in your browser. The model detects the foreground subject and masks out the background with pixel-level precision — no server involved.

Why does it take a few seconds the first time?

The first use downloads the AI model (~50MB) to your browser cache. After that, background removal is much faster because the model is already loaded.

What file formats does it support?

Upload JPG or PNG. The output is always a transparent PNG — JPG does not support transparency so PNG is the only format that preserves the removed background.

How do I remove the background from a photo on my phone?

Open freeimgkit.com/tools/remove-background in your mobile browser, tap to upload a photo from your camera roll, and download the transparent PNG result. Works on iPhone and Android.

Is this as good as remove.bg or Canva?

For most subjects — people, products, animals — the quality is comparable to paid tools. Complex backgrounds with hair or fur may have slightly rougher edges. For professional e-commerce use, always review the result before publishing.
