Choose a clear subject
A single, well-lit subject against a contrasting background is easier to separate. Fine hair, glass, thin straps and overlapping objects are harder. Start with the sample illustration to understand the controls, then inspect your own photo closely. The sample demonstrates the local model and is not a guarantee for every photo.
Run local removal
Select Local mode and press Remove background. The first run downloads about 19 MB of model and runtime files; the photo stays on your device. Subsequent visits may reuse the browser cache. Working images are limited to a 2,048-pixel longest edge. An unavailable cloud option cannot start an upload.
Inspect edges on more than one color
The checkerboard is a transparency guide and is not part of the PNG. Lower Cutout strength to retain more of the photo; raise it to remove more. Use a small amount of Edge softness, then compare transparent, white and a contrasting custom background. Excessive softness can produce a pale halo. These refinements reuse the first local analysis.
Keep a PNG master
Download PNG to retain transparency. A viewer with a black background may make transparent areas look black; check the image on a colored page before assuming the background was saved. If the model removes part of the subject, start with a clearer source or use a dedicated editor for manual corrections.
