Why I Built This
As a developer, I was tired of clunky background removal tools:
Forced sign-ups & email spam
Hidden paid tiers for basic exports
Slow processing & low-quality edges on hair/transparency
Watermarks on free outputs
I wanted a fast, private, zero-friction tool for profile pics, product shots, icons, and design mockups. So I built this.
What It Does
✨ 1-click AI background removal
Drag & drop or upload any image (JPG/PNG/WebP)
Auto-process in 1–3 seconds
Export clean transparent PNG instantly
No account, no watermark, 100% free
Perfect for:
Profile avatars & social media
E-commerce product images
App/website design assets
Quick design prototyping
How It Works (Tech Stack)
Frontend: Vanilla JS + Tailwind CSS
Image processing: Optimized ONNX AI model (client-side friendly)
Hosting: Static CDN (fast & private)
Privacy: No image uploads to external servers (processed locally/in secure ephemeral workers)

What’s Next?
I’m actively improving based on feedback:
Better edge handling for hair/fine details
Batch processing for multiple images
Simple edit tools (resize, crop, shadow)
Support for larger files & higher resolution
