## About

This tool removes the background from an image using a small local AI model. The model runs entirely in your browser — your image is never uploaded to a server.

The first run downloads the model (~25 MB). After that, the tool works offline and the result is produced in seconds.

Pick an image from your device. The model produces an alpha mask for the foreground subject, which is composited onto a transparent background. Download the result as a PNG.

Everything — the image, the model, and the result — stays on your device. There is no upload, no account, and no analytics on the image itself.

## How to use

1. **Pick an image** — Choose a JPG, PNG, or WebP. The image stays in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
2. **Download the model on first use** — The first run downloads a small local model (~25 MB). After that, the tool works offline.
3. **Click Remove background** — Inference usually takes 1–3 seconds on a modern laptop. The result appears below the original.
4. **Download the result** — The result is a PNG with a transparent background, ready to use in your design or document.

## FAQ

### What kind of images work best?

The model is tuned for portraits and clear subjects on a relatively uniform background. People, products, and pets typically come out well. Busy backgrounds with no clear subject can produce a messier mask.

### Is the model downloaded every time?

No. The first run downloads it to your browser cache; subsequent runs use the cached copy and work offline. You can remove the model from your device at any time with the small "remove model" button on the page.

### What format is the output?

A PNG with a transparent background. The dimensions match the original image. Soft edges (hair, fur) keep the model’s own alpha curve, so the result blends naturally when you place it on a new background.

### Does my image leave my device?

No. The model and the image both run in your browser. There is no server step.
