Background removal without uploading your photo
Most background removers upload your photo to their servers and charge for full-resolution downloads. This one runs Google's open-source MediaPipe segmentation model inside your browser, so it is free at full resolution and your photo stays private.
Ideas
- White-background passport, visa and exam photos.
- Clean LinkedIn and resume profile pictures (try a soft blue or grey).
- Blurred-background "portrait mode" for phones without it.

Frequently asked questions
How do I remove the background from a photo for free?
Choose a photo of a person. The background is removed automatically on your device. Pick transparent, white, a colour or a blurred background and download in full resolution, with no watermark and no credits.
Does it work for products or objects?
This tool is tuned for people: portraits, selfies, profile and passport photos. For products and objects results vary; a general-purpose remover is on our roadmap.
Can I get a white background for a passport or visa photo?
Yes. Choose White, download, then make the print sheet in the passport photo maker (which also has a built-in white-background option).
Is my photo uploaded?
No. The AI model (Google MediaPipe, open source) runs inside your browser. Your photo never leaves your device.
Why are the edges around hair soft?
The on-device model is small so it runs fast on phones. Use Edge sharpness for crisper outlines, or Edge softness to blend naturally.
