Use tool ↗About Removebg
Removebg strips backgrounds from photos by downloading a segmentation model into the browser and running it on the visitor's own machine, so the files never reach a server. It handles people, products, animals, vehicles and logos, and includes brush controls for erasing or restoring parts of the generated mask before saving. Inputs are capped at 10 MB and 6400 pixels per side across PNG, JPG, JPEG and WEBP.

Pros & cons of Removebg
Worth a bookmark if you handle client or NDA images that cannot legally be uploaded to a third-party server, because the model runs in your tab rather than on someone else's GPU. Everyone else will get cleaner hair, fur and glass edges out of remove.bg or Photoroom.
Pros
- Images stay on the device, which removes the usual privacy objection outright
- No signup, no credit meter and no watermark on output
- Mask brush lets you repair the model's mistakes instead of re-running the job
- Free at whatever volume your own CPU can sustain
Cons
- Hard limits of 10 MB and 6400 px per side rule out large print assets
- Cutout quality trails the paid server-side models on hair and reflective surfaces
- No company name, jurisdiction or contact published anywhere on the site
- Speed is entirely a function of the user's hardware, with no fallback
Best for
- Cutting out product shots without transmitting files to a vendor
- Agencies under NDA or internal-only image workflows
- One-off cutouts where creating yet another account is not worth it
- Bulk manual work on a fast laptop once the model has cached
Not for
- Automated or high-volume pipelines that need an API
- Fine hair, fur or semi-transparent edges where paid server models still win
- Buyers who need a named vendor, contract or SLA behind the tool
Watch out: The name sits one character away from remove.bg, a separate Canva-owned product, so confirm which site you are actually on before pasting client work.
