A finished image in four simple steps
Remove the background
Fast mode starts automatically on your device. Use Fine edges when hair, fur, or a complex object needs more care.
Choose your finish
Keep the background transparent or replace it with a clean solid color.
Download at full size
Save a transparent PNG or a color-filled JPG using the dimensions of your original image.
Made for real work
One clean tool, many useful outcomes
People, hair, and profile photos
Create a clean transparent portrait for a profile, presentation, or design. Start fast, then retry with Fine edges when flyaway hair needs a larger model.
Product images without the clutter
Separate an item from a distracting setting and place it on white or another consistent color for catalogs, marketplaces, and shop listings.
Graphics ready for your next project
Prepare a subject for a thumbnail, invitation, slide, social post, or collage without installing an editor or handing your image to a processing server.
Privacy by design
Your photo does not need to leave your device
Many online background removers send every image to a remote server. Purgebg takes a different route: your browser downloads the removal model and performs the work locally. That means portraits, product shots, and client images are not uploaded to us for background removal.
The first use may take longer while the model downloads. After that, browser caching can make repeat work faster. Read the exact details in our plain-language privacy policy.

Does Purgebg upload my image?
