About this tool

Removes a photo's background using MODNet, a real AI segmentation model optimized for people/portraits — running entirely in your browser via WebGPU/WebAssembly. No upload, no account, no watermark. The model downloads once (~a few dozen MB) and is cached for instant reuse.

Frequently asked questions

Is this really AI, or just a color filter?

It's a real AI model — MODNet, a neural network trained specifically for portrait/human matting — running through your browser via WebGPU (falling back to WebAssembly if unavailable). It understands image content, unlike a simple color-based background remover, which is why it works on complex backgrounds and hair/fine edges that color-keying can't handle.

Does my photo get uploaded anywhere?

No, never. The AI model is downloaded to your browser once, and every photo you process after that runs entirely on your own device — nothing is ever sent to a server.

Why does the first use take longer?

The AI model (a few dozen MB) needs to download the first time you use this tool. Your browser then caches it, so every subsequent visit — even to a different tool page that reuses the same model — is instant.
