I built a background remover that runs entirely in your browser

I built NoBG, a free image background remover that runs entirely in your browser.

The main idea is simple: you shouldn't have to upload an image to a server just to remove its background.

With NoBG, the processing happens locally in the browser, so your images stay on your device.

What you can do

  • Remove backgrounds from images
  • Create transparent PNGs
  • Process product photos
  • Prepare images for websites and marketplaces
  • Create profile pictures and thumbnails

Why I built it

Most background removal tools make you upload your image to their servers. For sensitive, private, or simply personal images, that's not always ideal.

I wanted a tool that was:

  • Fast
  • Simple
  • Free
  • Privacy-friendly
  • Browser-based

You can try it here:

I'd especially love feedback from developers on the browser-based approach, performance, and UX.
