Designed for portraits

The MODNet model is trained for portrait matting, so it works best when one person is clearly visible from the front or side. Product photos, animals, crowds, illustrations, and objects without a person may produce an incomplete mask.

Preserve difficult edges

Hair, transparent fabric, motion blur, low contrast, and strong shadows are challenging for any automatic background remover. Adjust edge softness and mask threshold while checking the transparent preview at full size.

Understand the first run

The browser downloads the AI runtime and model files when you first process a photo. That first run can take longer and requires an internet connection. Later runs may be faster when the browser cache is available.

Choose a source that separates subject and scene

Automatic matting is more reliable when the person is in focus and differs clearly from the background in color and brightness. Keep the full head, hair, shoulders, hands, and clothing inside the frame; cropped body parts cannot be reconstructed. Busy foliage, backlighting, transparent veils, and a background matching the clothing may need manual editing after export. Try the original camera image rather than a heavily compressed screenshot because compression blocks can become rough transparent edges.

Check the complete edge

This portrait-matting model is optimized for people. Zoom in around hair, hands, clothing, and low-contrast edges before using the result in an important design.

AI Portrait Background Remover questions

Is my portrait uploaded?

No. The selected image is decoded and processed in your browser. Only the public AI model files are downloaded.

Can it remove a product background?

This version is optimized for people and portraits. Object or product images may not be detected reliably.

Why is the first result slower?

The browser must download and initialize the AI model before it can calculate the portrait mask.

Which download format supports transparency?

PNG preserves transparent pixels. JPG cannot store transparency.
