How it works

UNBG runs in your browser. Your image is not uploaded to UNBG. Read the privacy details

What "online" means here

The page is on the web, so you can open it on a computer without adding software. The cut-out itself is not done on a server. Your browser downloads the model and runs it locally. The image, the result and the filename are not uploaded.

That is different from a desktop app that watches a folder, and different from a website that sends the photo away to be processed. If you want the same idea stated as "on this computer", see remove backgrounds locally.

What you can open

  • Still JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 50 MB and 60 megapixels.
  • One image, or up to 50 at once (fewer on phones, on devices with less memory and in browsers that don't report memory, such as Firefox and Safari (20 or 10); the tool shows your limit).
  • A transparent PNG, or the same cut-out on white or a colour you pick.

The how it works page is the short step-by-step, including which background to pick and what to check around hair.

Remove a background online in three steps

  1. Choose an image with the button above, drag it onto the page, or paste it from the clipboard.
  2. Wait for the cut-out. The first image takes longer while your browser downloads the model (about 20 MB on phones and tablets, up to about 142 MB on computers). Later images usually start sooner, while your browser keeps that download.
  3. Pick a background and download. Keep it transparent, or choose white or any colour, then download the PNG.

Fix the edges before you download

Automatic cut-outs are rarely perfect on hair, fur or a busy background, so the result has editing tools under Edit edges:

  • Edge hardness makes edges crisper and clears faint leftover background. Lower values keep soft detail like hair.
  • Edge feather softens the outline, measured in pixels of the downloaded image.
  • Remove colour fringe reduces leftover background colour around edges, such as a green tint on hair.
  • Crop to subject trims the empty space around the cut-out.
  • Erase or restore opens a brush: erase areas the model kept, or paint back parts it removed, with undo, redo and zoom.

All of this happens in your browser, like the cut-out itself.

Moving from remove.bg?

As of 2 November 2026, remove.bg's FAQ says its standalone website closes on 1 December 2026. This page removes backgrounds in your browser, with no account or credits. The shutdown checklist lists what to export first, and remove.bg alternatives compared shows what other tools' free tiers give you. remove.bg's free download is a 0.25 MP preview: what that means for a phone photo.

What this page does not promise

  • Edges are automatic. Fine hair, fur, glass and busy backgrounds can need a look before you rely on the result.
  • Desktop Chrome and Firefox on Windows are the tested browsers. Phones, Safari and Edge are still being tested. If a browser cannot run the tool, the page says so.
  • Commercial use of results hasn't been confirmed yet during the beta. The credits page explains why.

Questions

Is this a background remover I can use online?

Yes. It runs in the browser tab you already have open. There is no program to download and no account to create.

Do I have to install anything?

No. The first visit downloads the background removal engine (about 20 MB on phones and tablets, up to about 142 MB on computers) and later visits usually reuse that copy.

Is it free?

Yes, during the beta. There is no watermark and no credit pack. The homepage is the same tool.

What do I get back?

A PNG. Leave the background transparent, or pick white or another colour before you download. How the transparent PNG works

Can I use the results commercially?

Not confirmed yet. Commercial use of results hasn't been confirmed during the beta. The credits page explains why.
