Compare the edges

Background removal versions

Hair, glass, shadows, product edges, and portraits can favor different models. Open each PNG over the checkerboard and keep the best result.

How loading works

Large RMBG‑1.4 and ORMBG weights load from pinned Hugging Face revisions and are cached by the browser. The runtime uses pinned jsDelivr files first. If those CDNs fail, the tool switches to a self-hosted runtime and a compact self-hosted MODNet model.

Privacy and output

Your image is never sent to a recovery API or storage service. Only public model and runtime files cross the network. Each completed version is verified through canvas and exported as a transparent PNG.

Model choices

RMBG‑1.4 is the preferred general model. ORMBG is the Apache‑licensed general alternative. MODNet is a small Apache‑licensed portrait model and self-hosted fallback.

License note

BRIA’s public RMBG‑1.4 weights are licensed for non-commercial use. ORMBG and MODNet use Apache‑2.0. See the pinned versions and notices.

Background remover questions

Which images work?

Use a readable image in a format your browser can decode, including JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, AVIF, and—where browser decoding or the existing local preview decoder permits—HEIC and HEIF. Images larger than the safe processing canvas are resized before inference.

Why does WebAssembly run after WebGPU?

WebGPU is faster on supported desktop hardware. WebAssembly works in more browsers and serves as the compatibility path when a GPU backend or model operation is unavailable.

Do the models always agree?

No. That is why the tool preserves each successful result instead of silently picking one. Compare hair, soft shadows, holes inside objects, and translucent edges before downloading.
