About this app
Remove.bg is a free service to remove the background of any photo. It works 100% automatically: You don't have to manually select the background/foreground layers to separate them - just select your image and instantly download the result image with the background removed!
Personal & Professional
Whether you are a graphic designer, photographer or selfie lover: Removing backgrounds has never been easier.
Saves Time & Money
Spending hour after hour separating foregrounds from backgrounds? There's a better way now - and it's FREE.
100% Automatically
Aside from the image file, remove.bg requires no further input: No selecting pixels, no marking persons, nothing.
How does it work?
We use sophisticated AI technology to detect foreground layers and separate them from the background. To improve the results we have several additional algorithms in place, for instance to improve fine details and prevent color contamination.
If you are interested in the details, sign up for our mailing list! We will write more about this in the future.
Why does it only work for persons/faces?
Our AI is trained to detect persons as foreground and everything else as background. That's why it only works if there is at least one person in the image. In the future we want to support other kinds of images as well, such as product images. If you have a special request or want to tell us about your use case, we would love to hear about it!
What is the maximum image resolution?
You can upload images of any resolution. However, for performance reasons the output image is limited to 500 × 500 pixels. We are currently looking into ways to increase this limit though. If you want to be notified when higher-resolution images are supported, sign up to our mailing list!
Is there an API?
We will release an easy-to-use API to remove.bg soon. If you want to use remove.bg in your app, website or other digital product, you can either sign up for the beta here or, if you are feeling less adventurous, you can join our our mailing list to be notified when the stable API is available for production use.
Problems? Feedback?
If you experience any problems with the service or have bad results, you can reach us via email. Of course, any other feedback is welcome as well!
A Note on Privacy
Your images are uploaded through a secure SSL/TLS-encrypted connection. We process them, and temporarily store the results so you can download them. After that (about an hour later) we delete your files. We do not share your images or use them for any other purpose than removing the background and letting you download the result.
