Nearly every free background-removal tool works the same way: you upload your photo, their server runs a segmentation model, and you get the result back. That means your image — a product shot, a headshot, anything sensitive — passes through someone else's infrastructure.
Built one that skips that entirely:
- Runs an ISNet segmentation model directly in the browser via ONNX Runtime WebAssembly — the same class of model a server-side API would use, just local
- Pixel-level precision, including fine edges like hair and fur
- Before/after comparison slider to check quality before exporting
- Fast / Balanced / High Quality processing modes
- Option to replace the background with a solid color instead of transparency
- Supports PNG, JPG, WEBP, AVIF input up to 50MB; exports as transparent PNG or WEBP
- Model (~25-35MB) downloads once and caches — works offline after that, no per-image queue
No account, no file limits, no watermark.

Curious if anyone's compared ISNet vs. the models behind paid tools like remove.bg — open to feedback on edge cases where it struggles.
