Heads up: the first time you remove a background, your browser downloads a one-time AI engine (~40 MB). After that it runs fully on your device, even offline. Nothing is ever sent to a server.

Pick transparent (PNG) or composite onto a solid color.

Why remove backgrounds in the browser?

Most "free" background removers upload your photos to their servers and cap you at a few images. HeroTools runs the cut-out model directly on your machine — completely private, no watermark, no limit, and it works offline once the engine is cached. Transparent PNG export and solid-color backgrounds are all free.
