Questions people ask

Is the background remover really free?
Yes. Removing backgrounds is free and unlimited, with no watermark on what you save. You don't need an account to start.
How do I make the background transparent?
Upload your photo and the background is removed automatically. Then choose Save to device and keep the format as PNG. Everything around your subject stays transparent.
Is my photo uploaded to your servers?
No. The background removal model runs in your browser, on your own device. Your photo only leaves your device if you choose to save it to your StockUnlimited library.
Why does the first removal take longer?
The first time, your browser downloads the AI model (about 45 MB) and keeps it for next time. After that, removals start in seconds.
Does it lower the quality of my image?
No. The result keeps your photo's original dimensions. For small images, you can upscale in the same editor.
Can I replace the background with a color or another image?
Yes. After the background is removed you're already in the editor, so you can add a solid color, place a new background image, or add shadows and text.
What kinds of photos work best?
Photos with a clear main subject work best: people, pets, products, cars and objects. Busy backgrounds are fine. If a small area is missed, use the eraser to tidy it up.
Can I use the result commercially?
Yes, for images you have the rights to. Stock photos you license from StockUnlimited keep their royalty-free license after editing.
