Is this an AI background remover?
No. This tool is intentionally manual cleanup plus background fill and framing. It is best when the source is already close and only needs a cleaner listing presentation.
Does the image leave my device?
No. Upload, preview, cleanup, and export all run locally in your browser, and the downloaded file is rebuilt through canvas so common metadata is stripped on save.
What kinds of photos work best here?
Photos where the subject is already easy to recognize and the remaining issue is mostly background cleanliness, centering, or framing rather than complex cutout work.
Is it free to use?
Yes. The background cleaner runs in your browser at no cost, with no signup and no watermark on the exported image.
Which marketplaces does it suit?
The square, portrait, and landscape presets fit common destinations like Etsy, Amazon, eBay, and Shopify storefronts.
Is the automatic cleanup an AI background remover?
It runs the MODNet segmentation model, but entirely on your own machine inside a web worker, preferring WebGPU and falling back to WASM. Nothing is sent to a server. It is labelled beta because it works well on simple product shots with a clear subject and struggles with hair, glass, and busy backdrops.
Why is the first run slow?
The model has to be fetched and prepared in the browser the first time. After that it is cached, so later runs start immediately. If the browser lacks WebGPU it falls back to WASM, which is markedly slower and can hit the 45 second timeout on a large photo.
What canvas presets does it export?
Square listing at 1600x1600, portrait listing at 1200x1500, and landscape listing at 1600x1200. The four workflow presets pair those with a background tone and an export format: Amazon clean, Etsy portrait, eBay practical, and Shopify catalog.
Which background fill should I choose for Amazon?
White, which is exactly #ffffff and matches Amazon's pure white requirement for a main product image. Off-white and neutral are deliberately slightly tinted, so they suit secondary images and storefront cards but will not pass a main-image check.
Can I undo a bad brush stroke?
Yes, the cleanup stage keeps a stroke history and has an undo. The brush also has a restore mode, so you can paint a wrongly erased area back in rather than starting over.
Does the photo ever leave the device?
No. Both the manual brush and the automatic segmentation model run in the browser, and the export is rebuilt from a canvas, which drops the original EXIF along the way.
