Frequently Asked Questions

Open /upload/, drop or choose a supported image, and wait for the cutout. Use the Original control to compare it with the result, then choose a background or download PNG, JPEG, or WebP. To process multiple files, open /bulk-background-remover/ separately.

JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF (first frame), BMP, AVIF, and HEIC/HEIF are accepted. TIFF works only in browsers with native TIFF support. There is no fixed client-side pixel limit, but very large files can exceed device memory. Export options are PNG, JPEG, and WebP.

Yes. Use a current mobile browser to choose a photo from the camera roll or camera. The production editor supports touch input and pinch-to-zoom; install-to-home-screen and restoration of recent local work depend on browser support.

Yes — the bulk processor at /bulk-background-remover/ accepts up to 30 images per batch and processes up to two at a time through the same engine as the single-image editor. Download results individually or together as a ZIP. For more than 30 images, start another batch; typical manual browser use has no daily batch quota, though reasonable abuse protections and device limits apply.

No account, email, trial, or payment details are required. Editor preferences and recent work may be stored locally in your browser. The service and its processors handle request, device, analytics, and diagnostic data as described in the Privacy Policy; clearing site data removes local editor state.

After the cutout, use Erase or Restore to correct mask areas, choose a transparent, solid-color, or image background, apply the effects shown in the editor, compare with the original, and download the result.

Normal processing keeps the source canvas dimensions, and there is no paid HD gate. On memory-constrained devices, very large or hard-to-decode images may be softened or resized. PNG, JPEG, and WebP exports use the current canvas dimensions.

Fine-detail results vary by image. If the first pass misses hair, fur, or another edge, use Erase or Restore and adjust the brush size. The current production brush does not provide hardness or pressure-sensitive controls.

Low light, blur, and heavy noise can make the cutout less accurate. For best results, use a sharp, well-lit image with clear contrast between the subject and background; inspect the edges and use Erase or Restore where needed.

Use even lighting and a contrasting, non-reflective background when possible. If a halo or stray pixels remain, open Erase or Restore and correct the mask with the brush.

Bulk processing accepts up to 30 images per batch and runs up to two at a time. A saved recipe can apply its supported background and effects. The current bulk tool does not apply a full template, Brand Kit, canvas size, or JPEG-quality bundle.

PNG supports transparency and is often larger than JPEG. For a smaller file, try WebP, or choose a solid background and export JPEG. The current production editor does not include resize controls, so resize the downloaded result in another editor.

Standard removal uses the online service. Your original, full-resolution image stays on your device, and the service does not retain the processing copy. Private mode runs on-device in compatible browsers after its required assets are available; automatic fallback is conditional, so offline processing is not guaranteed. Analytics and local-browser storage are covered in the Privacy Policy.

The processing service does not retain the image copy used for background removal. Your browser may keep originals and results locally so recent work can be restored, and Microsoft Clarity may retain session replay containing rendered images. See the Privacy Policy for retention and deletion details.

We do not use uploads to train our models. The processing service does not retain the image copy after the request. Microsoft Clarity may capture rendered images in session replay as described in the Privacy Policy; that replay is analytics data, not a training dataset.

We do not require account or payment details, but the service and its processors handle the data described in our Privacy Policy, including device and request data, analytics, session replay, and error telemetry. The policy explains retention, opt-outs, deletion requests, and how to contact us.

Our Terms state that you retain rights to the images you upload and the processed outputs, and that we claim no ownership over your content. You are responsible for having the right to upload and edit the source image. See the Terms of Service for the full conditions.

Genuinely free for personal and commercial use, with no credit card, no trial countdown, and no daily quota for typical browser use. Browser users get full-resolution downloads, the bulk processor up to 30 images per batch, every editor feature, and every output format. There is no hidden premium browser plan and no paid public API tier today; any future API will be documented and priced separately before it launches.

PNG, JPEG, and WebP exports do not add a watermark or remove-bg.io logo. The current production editor does not provide text or image overlay layers; add your own logo in another editor after download.

No account or payment is required for high-resolution downloads. Normal processing keeps the source canvas dimensions, although very large or hard-to-decode images may be softened or resized on memory-constrained devices.

Yes. The terms allow commercial use of cutouts you generate from images you have the right to edit — product photography for your store, marketing assets for paid campaigns, design work for paying clients, social media for a monetized account, and prints sold at a market. There is no separate commercial license to purchase. Reselling or sublicensing access to the service itself is different and is not supported by a public API or reseller plan today; contact api@remove-bg.io before building that kind of product. See the full Terms of Service linked from the footer for the exact wording.

Not yet. What runs behind this site is built for the website's own uploader and editor, not for outside integration — there is no public API to point your own code at, no API key to issue, and no published rate card. A public API with prepaid credits and real reference documentation is in active development. Write to api@remove-bg.io to join the early-access list and you will hear before it opens. In the meantime, cutouts made through the website are already free to use commercially.

Use a current version of Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox, Opera, or Samsung Internet on desktop or mobile. Normal processing requires an internet connection, and very large images can exceed browser or device memory.

The editor includes keyboard navigation, labeled controls, visible focus, and reduced-motion support in many surfaces, but full WCAG conformance and screen-reader certification have not been completed. Report a specific issue at /help/.

The current production editor does not provide resize presets or custom canvas dimensions. Download the transparent PNG and resize it in an image editor.

Download the transparent PNG here, then import it into Photoshop, Figma, or Canva; there is no first-party plugin or public API today.
