Frequently asked questions
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. The AI model runs locally in your browser using WebAssembly. Your photo is processed entirely on your device and is never sent to any server.
Why does the first use take longer?
The AI model (a few megabytes) and the WebAssembly runtime it needs are downloaded from this site the first time you use the tool, then cached by your browser. Every use after that is faster since nothing needs to be downloaded again.
What AI model does this use?
It uses U-2-Net, an open-source salient object detection model (Apache-2.0 license), running entirely client-side via ONNX Runtime Web — no third-party API or cloud service is involved.
Will it work perfectly on every photo?
It works best on photos with a clear, well-lit subject and a reasonably distinct background — portraits, products, and single objects. Complex scenes, fine detail like individual hair strands, or very low-contrast subjects may not cut out perfectly.
What file format is the result?
The output is always a PNG, since PNG is the common image format that supports transparency. The transparent areas will show as see-through when placed on another background.
