Drop, pick, or paste
Drag a file in, browse for one, or paste a screenshot straight from the clipboard.
How to remove a background in 4 steps
- 1
Drop, pick or paste an image (PNG, JPG, WebP, BMP). Everything runs in your browser, so there is nothing to install or sign up for.
- 2
Cutout removes the background with an in-browser AI model (IS-Net). The first run downloads the model once; later runs use the cached copy.
- 3
Compare the before and after with the slider — the checkerboard shows where the background is now transparent.
- 4
Download the result as a transparent PNG. Your original photo and the cutout never leave your device.
Frequently asked questions
Is my image uploaded to a server?+
No. Cutout is 100% client-side — your image is processed entirely in your browser by a WebAssembly AI model. The original photo and the cutout never leave your device.
Does it work offline?+
Yes. The AI model downloads on first use and is then cached, so once it has loaded once you can remove backgrounds with no internet connection. Install Cutout as a PWA and it opens and runs offline.
What does it cost?+
Cutout is free. There is no signup, no watermark, and no per-image limit in this build. The processing happens on your own device, so there is no server cost to pass on.
What image formats are supported?+
Drop or paste PNG, JPG, JPEG, WebP or BMP. The result is always a transparent PNG you can download and use anywhere.
