FAQ

Are my photos uploaded to a server?

No. All decoding, masking, compositing and PNG encoding run in JavaScript and WebAssembly inside your browser tab with no upload endpoint. You can load the page, disconnect from the internet, and the color remover continues working; the AI model, once downloaded, also runs fully offline.

What's the difference between color mode and AI mode?

Color mode is instant with no download required; it removes pixels matching the background color either in the connected region or globally everywhere, ideal for studio shots and product photos. AI mode downloads a small U²-Netp open model (~4.6 MB) and WebAssembly runtime (~13 MB) once, then estimates a soft matte around the subject for any background—better for cluttered scenes but slower on first use and less precise on fine hair edges.

Why does my cutout have a colored halo around the edges?

Edge pixels blend the subject with the old background, most visible with green screens and strong backlight. You can increase edge feather slightly to soften the transition, lower tolerance so less edge is removed, or switch to AI mode which estimates a soft matte instead of a hard cut.

How do I get a white or colored background instead of transparency?

Set New background to White or Custom color before downloading. The result is flattened onto that color, which is the right output for marketplaces requiring pure white such as Amazon's main images or passport photos that need a plain light background.

Can I process several photos at once?

Yes, you can drop or pick a small batch. Each photo gets an automatic first pass with the dominant border color removed. You can refine any one of them in the editor, tick Apply to all images to share your settings across the batch, then download all.
