Smart Background Remover cuts the subject out of a photo automatically. It runs a neural segmentation model directly in your browser: upload a JPG, PNG or WebP, wait while the model finds the foreground, and download a PNG with a transparent background. There are no colour pickers or tolerance sliders to adjust.
The model is downloaded the first time you use the tool, which can take a little while on a slow connection; after that it is cached. Your photo is processed on your device and never uploaded.
