About Background Removal
This tool uses U²-Net (Qin et al.), an open source (Apache 2.0 license) neural network for salient object detection. The model predicts which pixels belong to the subject and which belong to the background, and the background pixels are made transparent.
Inference runs locally via ONNX Runtime Web (MIT license) using WebAssembly. The model files come from the rembg project (MIT license), loaded from a Hugging Face mirror.
The first run downloads the model file, which your browser then caches for future visits. The fast model is good for previews and simple subjects; the high quality model handles hair, fur, and complex edges noticeably better.
Tip: After removing the background, you can use the Circle Crop tool to make a round profile picture.
