Free background remover that works in your browser

BGRemoveX removes the background from your photos and saves the result as a PNG, transparent or on a solid colour. It is free, there is nothing to install and no account to create, and your image is processed on your own device.

How it works

  1. Open an image

    Choose a JPG, PNG or WebP photo, drop it on the page, or paste it.

  2. Choose the subject

    Auto, Object or Person. Each uses a different removal route, so you can try another if the first is not right.

  3. Remove and fix

    Press Remove Background, then correct any area with Smart Select or tidy the edges with Refine.

  4. Download a PNG

    Save a transparent PNG, or fill the background with white, black or a colour of your choice.

Frequently asked questions

Is BGRemoveX free?

Yes. BGRemoveX is free to use, with no account, sign-up or payment.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. Your image is processed in your browser on your device. Your browser downloads the app and its model files from bgremovex.com, but the images you open are not uploaded to or stored by BGRemoveX. See the privacy policy.

Which images can I use?

JPG, PNG and WebP images up to 20 MB and 24 megapixels, one image at a time.

What format is the download?

A PNG. Choose a transparent background, or fill it with white, black or a custom colour before you download.

What if the cutout is not quite right?

First try another subject option (Auto, Object or Person). Then use Smart Select to outline areas to keep or remove, and Refine to brush details and soften or tighten the edge.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes. On phones and smaller tablets, BGRemoveX switches to a touch layout with pinch-to-zoom, a compare view and a magnifying lens. Large photos take longer on slower devices.

Why does the first removal take longer?

The first time a removal route is used, your browser downloads the files it needs. Later runs reuse them from the browser's cache.
