Backgroundoff
Remove image backgrounds without uploading your photos
Every background remover uploads your photo to a server. This one doesn't. The AI model runs in your browser, on your own processor — your image never leaves your device. Verify it: process one image, disconnect from the internet, process another. It still works. No account, no watermark, no limits, full working resolution. Erase and restore brushes fix whatever the AI misses. Free, in any modern browser.
Hi Product Hunt,
I built this because I kept needing to cut out product photos, and every tool wanted an upload, an account, a watermark, or all three.
Browsers can run neural networks now, so the upload is a design choice rather than a technical requirement. Backgroundoff downloads a 4.4 MB segmentation model to your browser and runs it there. Your photo is read from your disk into the page, processed on your own processor, and drawn back on a canvas. Nothing is sent anywhere — which you can check yourself by disconnecting from the internet after the page loads.
Being honest about the trade-off: a model small enough to ship to a browser is not the most accurate one in existence. It struggles with loose hair and with subjects that are the same colour as their background. That is why it includes erase and restore brushes — fixing an edge by hand takes seconds and beats waiting on a server.
Free, no account, no watermark, no limits, and downloads at working resolution rather than a reduced one.
I would especially like feedback on images where the cut-out fails. Those are the ones that tell me what to fix next.
