Is the background remover free?

Yes. There is no watermark, no account to make and no limit on how many pictures you cut out.

Is my photo uploaded?

No. The model runs in your browser on this device and the picture never leaves it. The only download is the model itself, once, after you agree to it.

Which model should I choose?

Automatic is right for most pictures: it uses Best quality (BiRefNet Lite) on a capable graphics card, Any subject (ORMBG) otherwise, and People (MODNet) on a device that is short of memory. Choose People for portraits, or Any subject for products, pets and objects.

How do I keep the background transparent?

Download a PNG. A JPG cannot store transparency, so use it only when you have put a new background behind the cut-out.

Can I use the cut-out in a video?

Yes. Send it into a Sonic Weaver project as a layer, or use it for cover art, a thumbnail or a visualizer background.
