FAQ
Is this background remover free?
Yes. Remove the background from an image and download a transparent PNG with no signup, watermark, or daily cap in this MVP.
Does my photo leave my computer?
No. Segmentation runs locally. PixTools does not receive your image. The first run may download a public model file into your browser cache; that download does not include your photo.
Can I download a PNG with a transparent background?
Yes. This is a PNG background remover. The result is a PNG with an alpha channel, not a flattened JPEG.
What images work best?
Clear subjects on a reasonably distinct background — portraits, product shots, pets — work well. Busy scenes or tiny subjects can leave artifacts.
Why is the first run slow?
The first visit fetches an on-device model (tens of megabytes). The browser caches it, so later removals skip that download.
