Question 1

Is this background remover really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The tool runs on-device via an AI model in your browser - there's no server to pay for. Free tier converts 3 files per day; Pro or a short rewarded ad removes the limit.

Question 2

Are my photos uploaded anywhere?

Accepted Answer

No. Background removal runs locally with ONNX Runtime Web. The image never leaves your device, so nothing is stored, tracked, or reused for training.

Question 3

Why is there a model download on first use?

Accepted Answer

The cutout model (~25 MB, MODNet) is fetched once from the Hugging Face hub and cached by your browser. After that, removals run instantly and can even work offline.

Question 4

What can I use the cutout for?

Accepted Answer

Product photos, profile pictures, e-commerce listings, thumbnails, and composites. The result is a transparent PNG you can layer on any background.
