A different tradeoff

Our tool runs U²-NetP in your browser using WebAssembly. It makes a first cutout, then lets you erase or restore areas by hand. Your photo is not uploaded to a server. It is independent of remove.bg and Canva.

Not a like-for-like quality claim

This small model estimates a mask at 320px. It can miss hair, fur, translucent objects and low-contrast edges. We have not completed a licensed head-to-head benchmark against remove.bg, and we do not claim matching quality.

How to use it

1. Choose a JPG, PNG or WebP up to 20 MB and 24 megapixels.
2. Wait for the local model, then inspect your cutout.
3. Use Erase or Restore if needed, choose a background and download a PNG.
