AI Background Remover
Powered by Google's MediaPipe AI model, running entirely in your browser — no file is ever uploaded anywhere. Works best on photos of people, animals, vehicles, and everyday objects.
You have an unsaved editing session from before — resume it?
Refine selection
Add/Subtract applies to Magic Wand, Polygon, and Lasso. Brush always adds, Eraser always subtracts. Edge Refine blends toward real color edges under the brush — useful for hair and fur where the AI's edge is rough.
Keyboard: Ctrl+Z undo, Ctrl+Y redo, hold Space and scroll/drag to pan, Escape or Delete cancels an in-progress Polygon/Lasso selection. Scroll or pinch to pan when zoomed in; mouse wheel over the canvas zooms in/out; two-finger pinch/drag on touch devices. Canvas drawing itself needs a pointer (mouse, touch, or stylus) — every other control here is fully keyboard operable.
Exports are rebuilt at your original image's full resolution regardless of the editing preview size, using a background worker when your browser supports it so large images don't freeze the page.
About the AI Background Remover
AI Background Remover uses Google's MediaPipe machine learning model to detect and remove backgrounds automatically, then hands you a full manual editor — brush, eraser, magic wand, polygon, and lasso — to refine tricky edges like hair and fur.
Features
- One-click AI background detection and removal
- Manual refine tools: Brush, Eraser, Edge Refine, Magic Wand, Polygon, Lasso
- Zoom, pan, undo/redo, and a Before/After comparison slider
- Export as PNG, JPG, or WEBP at full original resolution
How to Use
Upload a photo, then tap Remove background (AI). The first use downloads a small AI model (a few MB, cached afterward), then the background is removed automatically using machine learning. Use the Refine tools below to fix any rough edges before exporting.
Benefits
- Nothing is ever uploaded — the AI model and all editing run locally in your browser
- Auto-save protects your editing session if the page refreshes accidentally
- Falls back to manual-only editing if AI processing ever fails, so your image is never lost
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No — the AI model runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly. Your image is never sent to a server.
What does this work best on?
People, animals, vehicles, furniture, and other common photo subjects. Very fine detail like flyaway hair may not be as precise as a specialized paid tool — that's exactly what the manual refine tools are for.
