# Remove Background from Image Free, in Your Browser

Cut the subject out of a photo and save it as a transparent PNG, on a solid colour, or over a blurred version of the original. A small AI model does the work on your device, so your photo is never uploaded.

Higher removes more of the background, lower keeps more of the subject.

Edge softness100%

Lower gives a crisp, hard edge. 100% keeps the model&#x27;s own soft edge.

FeatherOff

Softens the edge to hide jagged outlines. Higher values give a wider, softer edge.

Works best on one clear subject, like a person, product or pet, against a distinct background. This model is small enough to run on a phone, so hair and fine detail can come out rough.

The first time you use it, the page downloads the segmentation model (about 4.6 MB) and the ONNX Runtime engine from dragbin.com. Your browser keeps them for next time. Your photos are never uploaded.

## How to Remove a Background

Pick how the background should look, add your photos, and save the results.

Step 1

Choose transparent, a solid colour, or a blurred original background.

Step 2

Drop, paste or pick your photos. Each one is processed as soon as it&#x27;s added.

Step 3

Compare before and after, then download each image or all of them as a zip.

## Why Use This Background Remover?

It does the common job, a clean cut-out of one clear subject, without an account, a watermark or sending your photo anywhere.

### Automatic Cut-Out

The model finds the main subject for you. Sliders let you tighten or soften the edge.

### Three Backgrounds

Transparent PNG, any solid colour, or a portrait-style blur of the original.

### Free, No Signup

Process as many photos as you like, with no watermark on the result.

## Private by Design

Background removal usually means sending your photo to someone&#x27;s server. Here it runs on your own device instead.

### Stays on Your Device

Your photo is processed in the browser tab. Only the model and its engine are downloaded, from dragbin.com.

### Works Everywhere

Any modern browser on desktop or phone. Nothing to install.

### Batch Friendly

Add several photos at once and download them together as a zip.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Is my photo uploaded to a server?

No. The background is removed by a small AI model running in your browser tab, so your photo never leaves your device. The first time you use the tool, the page downloads the model (about 4.6 MB) and the ONNX Runtime engine that runs it from dragbin.com. Your browser keeps both, so later visits don&#x27;t download them again.

### Which photos give the best results?

Photos with one clear subject, such as a person, a product or a pet, standing out from a plain or clearly different background. The model is small so it can run on phones, which means hair, fur, see-through objects and busy backgrounds can come out rough. If an edge looks wrong, try the cut-off and edge softness sliders.

### What output options are there?

Transparent saves a PNG with the background removed. Solid colour puts your subject on a colour you pick, and Blur original keeps the original background but blurs it for a portrait look. Both of those save as JPG, since there is no transparency left to keep.

### Can I remove the background from several images at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like and they are processed one after another. Download each result on its own, or all of them in one zip. If you change a setting afterwards, apply it to every image without running the model again.

### Does it work with iPhone HEIC photos?

Yes. Safari opens HEIC by itself. In other browsers the page first downloads a HEIC decoder from dragbin.com. Your photo is still processed only on your device.

### Is there a size limit?

Each file can be up to 100 MB. Photos over about 16.7 megapixels, such as 24 MP iPhone shots, are scaled down to fit that limit before processing, which keeps the tool reliable on phones, and the result shows the new size. The tool is free with no signup.
