About Background Remover
Background Remover uses a segmentation model to cut the subject out of a photo and return a transparent PNG. It works best on people, products and pets against a reasonably distinct background.
Fine detail — hair, fur, transparent glass — is where automated matting still struggles, and where you should expect to touch up.
How to use Background Remover

Transparency is preserved. Composite it over a new background in any editor.
Questions about Background Remover
Does it work on any photo?
No. Busy backgrounds, low contrast and motion blur reduce accuracy significantly.
Is the result editable?
Yes — it is a normal PNG with an alpha channel, so you can refine the mask in an editor.
Are my images stored?
No. The file is processed for the job and deleted within the hour.
Why are edges rough?
Hair and semi-transparent edges need manual matting. Automated models often produce a hard edge there.
