Remove the background from any photo, privately
Drop a photo and get a clean cutout at full resolution. Edges are refined against the original pixels, colour fringes are cleaned up, and a brush lets you fix any spot. The AI runs inside your browser, so nothing is uploaded.

How to use Remove Background
- 01
Drop a photo (JPG, PNG, WebP or HEIC).
- 02
The on-device AI cuts out the subject and refines the edges at full resolution.
- 03
Touch up with the Erase and Restore brush if needed, pick a background and download or share.
Edges that hold up
Most quick removers scale a small mask up to your photo, which leaves blurry outlines and coloured halos. SleekCut refines the mask against the full resolution original and removes background colour that bleeds into hair and edges, so cutouts look clean on any new background.
Fix anything with the refine brush
Missed a strand of hair or kept a bit of background? Switch to Erase or Restore and paint over it. Pinch to zoom on phones for precise touch ups. Undo is always one tap away.
Private by design
Background removers usually upload your photo to a server. SleekCut runs the model in your browser, so portraits, IDs and product shots stay on your device.
People and products
Choose Person for portraits with fine hair, or Product or object for items, pets and anything else. Add a soft shadow, a brand colour or your own photo as the new background.
Frequently asked questions
Is the background remover really free?
Yes. There are no credits, no sign up and no watermark, and full resolution downloads are free.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. Everything runs in your browser, so your photo never leaves your device.
What can I download?
A full resolution PNG with a transparent background, or a JPG on white, any colour, a blurred version of the original or a photo of your choice.
Can I fix mistakes in the cutout?
Yes. Use the Erase and Restore brushes to paint away leftovers or bring back missing parts, with undo.
How do I get finer hair edges?
Open the Subject tab and raise Edge detail. A second full resolution pass then follows fine strands more closely. Lower it for smoother, cleaner edges on products.
Why is the first run slower?
The small AI model downloads once the first time, then your browser caches it and it starts instantly, even offline.
