How do I remove the background from a photo?

1. Drop the photo. The AI model (a one-time download) runs locally. Portraits and people are its specialty — hair and soft edges survive where box-cutting tools fail.
2. Pick the right mode. AI mode for people, pets and complex subjects; solid-color mode for logos and graphics on flat backgrounds — it is faster and pixel-exact for that case.
3. Download the transparent PNG. PNG keeps the alpha channel. Layer it over any background, drop it into a sticker maker, or put it on a product page.

A portrait processes in a few seconds after the one-time model download. Since everything is local, batch through a whole folder without hitting any daily limit.

Why does on-device matter here more than anywhere?

Background removal is almost always personal: your face, your kids, your products before launch. Every upload-based remover holds those photos on its servers at least briefly, and the popular ones charge for full resolution. Local AI sidesteps both — full-resolution output, zero transmission, no watermark, no credit system.

What about tricky edges — hair, fur, glass?

Portrait matting models are trained exactly for hair and soft edges, and that is where this tool shines. Transparent objects (glasses, veils) remain genuinely hard for every tool in existence; expect to touch those up. For logos with hard edges, skip AI entirely — solid-color mode cuts cleaner.
