Processed on our server – the file is deleted right afterwards
Frequently asked questions
Is my file uploaded?
Yes. This is one of the few tools that need our server, because the program behind it cannot run in a browser. The file travels encrypted, is processed in an isolated container without network access, and is deleted immediately after your download – at the latest after an hour. It is never stored, read or passed on.
Why is this free when other sites charge?
Because the model behind it is open source (U²-Net) and runs on our own server. There is no per-image cost to pass on, so there is no reason to ask for money, an account or to stamp a watermark on your picture.
What does it handle well – and what not?
People, products and animals against a reasonably distinct background come out clean. Hard cases are fine hair against a busy background, glass, smoke and motion blur. Try the “fine detail” model and “refine edges” before giving up on a difficult picture.
What do I get back?
A PNG with a transparent background, at the same size as your original. Use our “make transparent colour” or crop tools afterwards if you need a specific background instead.
Why do I have to wait?
Your job joins a queue and runs on a real machine. The page shows which step it is on – upload, queue, processing, download – and you can cancel at any time. Nothing runs in the background after you leave.
Is there a size limit?
Files up to 50 MB. Larger files are refused before anything is uploaded, so you do not waste time on a job that could not finish.
