How does automatic background removal work?
An AI segmentation model identifies the main subject and masks everything else. Here it runs fully in your browser via WebAssembly, so the image is never uploaded — the model downloads once on first use, then it's cached.
Tips for the cleanest cut-out
Good contrast between subject and background gives the best edges. Busy or low-contrast backgrounds can leave stray pixels — a well-lit photo with a clear subject works best.
