Background Remover

Remove the background from JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, AVIF, GIF, BMP, SVG, ICO or TIFF photos on your device, then save a transparent PNG or put the subject on white or any colour.

No files uploaded to a server

Work on one photo or a batch. Edit in editor opens one original photo separately.

  • Cut out the subject, keep every pixel
  • Compare before saving

The first run downloads a 46.55 MB AI model to this browser, then reuses it. Photos never leave this device.

About Batch and Interactive Editor

How to use Interactive Editor

  1. Choose Interactive Editor to open batch originals on separate pages, or choose images directly in the editor.
  2. Manually erase and restore the background with a brush. This editor does not use an automatic model. Use Pages to move between photos; each page keeps its own edits.
  3. Choose a format, use Export image, then download the result. Export all pages (ZIP) saves every page. Save project keeps layers editable.

Switching to the editor opens originals on separate pages. Each page is edited individually, with no Apply to all pages. Batch settings and results stay separate from editor edits. Switching back restores each mode's session until reload.

Export one editor page or all pages as a ZIP. Save project keeps editable layers and embedded original image bytes, including original metadata. Exported images are rebuilt from pixels and do not retain that metadata.

How it works

Batch: how to remove a background

  1. Add up to 20 photos — JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, AVIF, GIF, BMP, SVG, ICO or TIFF. They stay in your browser.
  2. Keep Transparent for a PNG cut-out, or choose White or a Colour for product listings and profile pictures. Add Rotate/Flip, Resize or Compress from the Also row to prepare the cut-out in the same pass.
  3. Click Remove background, use Compare to check the edges, and Touch up to erase or restore small areas. Then download one by one or as a ZIP, or send the cut-outs to the cropper or Image to PDF.
Frequently asked questions

Batch details

9 answers
Are my photos uploaded?

No. The AI model is downloaded to your browser and runs there; your photos are never sent to Toolkitta or anyone else. Keep the tab open until you download or send your results — reloading clears the batch. Website hosting and performance measurement are described in our Privacy notice.

Why does the first run take longer?

The background model is about 46.55 MB. The first run downloads it from Toolkitta and stores it in this browser, so later visits can reuse it without that download. Clearing site data removes it, and a private window downloads it again each time.

How good is the cut-out?

Clear subjects — people, pets, products, cars, food — usually come out clean. Fine hair, fur, glass, smoke and subjects that blend into the background can lose or keep bits. Open Compare to check the result, then Touch up to erase unwanted areas or restore parts of the subject before downloading.

Is the result full resolution?

The output can keep the original dimensions, up to 40 megapixels. The model estimates a mask at 1024 × 1024 and scales it over the photo, so fine edges may change or be missed. Trim empty space and Resize can change the dimensions. Check the result before downloading.

How do I get a white background?

Choose White (or Colour for any other shade) before you run. JPG is then offered as well and is much smaller than PNG for photos. Transparent results can only be saved as PNG or WebP, because JPG has no transparency.

What does Trim empty space do?

It crops the result to the subject with a small margin, which is handy for stickers, logos and product shots that you will place elsewhere. Leave it off to keep the original picture size.

Why is it slow on my computer?

Where WebGPU is available, the model can use the graphics card. Otherwise it uses the processor. Processing time depends on the device, browser and image. Large batches on phones may run out of memory — do a few at a time.

Can I resize or shrink the cut-outs at the same time?

Yes. Add Resize (pixels, percent, longest side or a platform preset such as a 1080 × 1080 square) or Compress (a quality or a target such as 200 KB) from the Also row. The cut-out, the new background, the resize and the compression happen in one pass, and each picture is saved only once.

Is metadata (EXIF, location) kept?

No. Every result is rebuilt from pixels, so camera settings, GPS location and other embedded metadata are removed. Orientation is applied first, so photos are not rotated.
