How to remove the background
- 1
Add your image
Drag and drop a photo onto the tool, or click to browse. It’s decoded straight in your browser — never uploaded to a server.
- 2
Let it cut out the subject
An AI model runs right on your device and erases the background automatically. The first time, a one-time model file downloads and is cached; after that it’s instant and works offline.
- 3
Pick a background (optional)
Keep it transparent, or drop the cutout onto a solid white, black or colored background — whichever you need.
- 4
Download the PNG
Save a transparent PNG directly, or get a .zip when you’ve removed the background from several images. Free, instant, no watermark.
Why use Background Remover?
100% private
The cutout is computed locally in your browser. Your photo is never uploaded — only a generic, public AI model downloads to your device the first time, then it’s cached.
Automatic, no clicking around
No manual masking or magic-wand selecting. The subject is detected and isolated for you, with clean edges around hair and fine detail.
Transparent or solid background
Export a transparent PNG for stickers and product shots, or composite the subject onto a solid color in one click.
Works on any device
No install and no account. It runs in any modern browser on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android or iPhone.
Remove image backgrounds without uploading anything
Most background removers send your photo to their servers, cap how many you can do, or stamp a watermark on the result. LocalTools runs the cutout model directly in your browser, so your image never leaves your device. It’s ideal for product photos, profile pictures, ID and passport shots, marketplace listings, and anything you’d rather not upload to a stranger’s cloud.
Transparent PNG or a solid background
By default you get a PNG with a transparent background — perfect for stickers, logos, and dropping the subject into a design. Prefer a clean backdrop? Pick white, black or a color and the subject is composited onto it in one click. The first run downloads a one-time AI model (a generic, public file that’s the same for everyone); your browser caches it, so every photo after that is fast and works offline.
Frequently asked questions
Are my photos uploaded to a server?
No. Your image is processed entirely in your browser — it never leaves your device. The only thing downloaded is a generic, public AI model (the same for everyone), which your browser fetches once and caches, after which the tool even works offline.
Why is the first image slower?
The very first cutout downloads a one-time AI model to your browser. It’s cached afterwards, so the next images are much faster — and it keeps working even offline.
Can I get a transparent background?
Yes. The default output is a transparent PNG. You can also place the subject on a solid white, black or colored background if you prefer.
Does it add a watermark or cost anything?
No. Removing the background is completely free, has no limits, and never adds a watermark.
