Frequently asked questions
Is FreeRemoveBg really free?
Yes. There are no credits, no subscription, no watermark and no limit on the number or the size of downloads. The computing is done by your own device, so each picture costs nothing to run, and the code is open source under the MIT license.
Is it an alternative to remove.bg?
Yes. FreeRemoveBg does the same job, removing the background of a picture automatically, with a background editor, an erase and restore brush and batch processing. The differences: it is free in full resolution, it needs no account, and pictures are processed in your browser instead of being uploaded. FreeRemoveBg is an independent project, not affiliated with remove.bg.
How good is the cutout, and at what resolution?
The IS-Net model is used: it handles fur, hair and thin details well on people, animals, products and vehicles. The picture is analysed at 1024 px, then the result is saved at the size of the original, up to 25 megapixels (16 on iPhone and iPad). Hard cases can be fixed with the brush.
Are my pictures uploaded to a server?
No. Pictures are opened, processed and saved by your browser, on your device. The site only delivers the application files, and the AI model is downloaded once from Hugging Face. You can check it in your browser's developer tools: no request carries a picture.
Which formats are supported?
In: PNG, JPG, WebP, AVIF, GIF and BMP, plus HEIC on browsers that can read it (Safari). Out: PNG or WebP with transparency, JPG with a background, or a copy to the clipboard.
Can I process several pictures at once?
Yes. Drop or select as many pictures as you want: they are cut out one after the other, the chosen background applies to all of them, and one button downloads everything as a ZIP archive.
Can I use the results commercially?
Yes. You keep every right on your pictures, and the model used (IS-Net, under the Apache-2.0 license) allows commercial use. You only need the rights on the original pictures.
Does it work offline?
Yes, after the first use. Once the application and the AI model are in your browser's cache, everything runs without a connection. You can also install FreeRemoveBg as an app from your browser.
Why does the first picture take longer?
The AI model (179 MB) is downloaded the first time, then kept by your browser. The following pictures take about a second with a graphics card, a few seconds on the processor.
