Brush & Selection
Add/Subtract applies to Magic Wand, Magic Touch, 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. Magic Wand selects by color, so it's great for clearing a large flat or blurry background in one tap — but if that background is a similar color to part of your subject (e.g. a dark chair right next to dark hair), it can grab a bit of the subject too, since it can't tell them apart by color alone. If that happens, tap Undo and use Magic Touch on that spot instead — it recognizes objects, not just color. Magic Touch uses a second AI model that loads in the background shortly after you upload your photo — usually ready by the time you need it.

Export
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.
