remove.bg shuts down in days. We’re staying.
Cut out anything. Keep every hair.
Drop a photo and the background is gone in a couple of seconds. It runs on your own computer, so it’s free, full size, and nothing gets uploaded.

Straight from the model
Fur, steam, a shoelace. The hard parts are the point.
Every cutout on this page came out of the same open model that runs in your browser. We didn’t touch them up.
remove.bg made background removal feel like magic. Then it charged for previews, let credits expire and set a shutdown date. We think it should be free when your own computer does the work, and fair when ours does.
Hair
Every curl, kept.
Fine strands are where most tools give up and paint a soft halo. This is a straight output from the model, no retouching.
Products
Ready for the shop.
Pure white, a soft shadow underneath and the same margin on every product, so a catalogue looks like one shoot.
Tricky edges
Even the steam.
Semi-transparent things keep their transparency. The mug stays solid, the steam stays soft.
Privacy
It never leaves your desk.
Free mode runs on your own machine. Nothing to upload, nothing to delete later.
- 01
Runs on your computer
The model loads once and works on your own graphics card. Free, full size, nothing uploaded.
- 02
Cloud HD when it matters
Server-side matting for glass, veils and the last few strands. Coming soon.
- 03
Batches of 500
One set of settings for the whole folder. Progress you can watch, one ZIP at the end.
- 04
The remove.bg API, kept
Same endpoint, same parameters, same headers and errors. Change the host and the key.
- 05
Any background
Transparent, a flat colour, your own photo, or the original softly blurred.
- 06
Shadows and edges
A contact shadow so things sit on the ground, feathering when the edge is too crisp.
- 07
Credits that stay yours
Credits you pay for never expire, on a plan or a pack. We do not charge for a failed cutout.
- 08
Webhooks and signed links
Async jobs with signed callbacks, and download links that expire on their own.
- 09
Room for a team
One shared balance, a key per person, and usage you can trace back to who made it.

Your remove.bg code already works.
Same POST /v1.0/removebg, same parameters and headers. Rate-limited requests are never charged, and every call takes an idempotency key.

See pricingQuestions people ask us.
Is this remove.bg?+
No. We are an independent product. Our API follows remove.bg’s public interface so your code keeps working, but we have nothing to do with Kaleido or Canva.
Where do my photos go?+
In the browser, nowhere. They stay on your device. If you use cloud HD, the upload is encrypted, stored in the EU and deleted after an hour.
Do credits really never expire?+
Credits you pay for don’t expire, on a plan or a pack. The 25 free cloud images on the Free plan reset each month. And we won’t sign you up for anything you didn’t choose.
Can I bring my remove.bg balance?+
Send us your last remove.bg invoice and we’ll add up to 100 HD cutouts to your account during launch.
Your next cutout is one drop away.
Free in your browser. No account, no watermark, no expiry.
