Like many of you, I used remove.bg for quick one-off cutouts. With their standalone site closing December 1, 2026 (moving into Canva), I built an alternative I actually wanted to use:
BGone — https://bgone.tools
- Free background removal, no signup, no credits, no watermark
- Full-res transparent PNG downloads
- Runs entirely client-side (WebAssembly) — images never touch a server, which also means zero server costs for me
- Plus 24 other free PDF/image tools on the same site, same privacy model
Comparison page for anyone evaluating options: https://bgone.tools/remove-bg-alternative/
Honest ask: where does the AI cutout fail for you? Hair/fur and glass are the known weak spots of on-device models — trying to decide whether a manual refine brush is worth building next.
Happy to answer tech questions about the in-browser AI setup.
