How it works
- Add a photoChoose a file, drag it onto the box, or paste a screenshot. JPG, PNG and WebP all work.
- Your browser cuts it outA segmentation model runs on your device and finds the subject. Typical photos take a few seconds once the model is loaded.
- Download a PNGKeep the background transparent, or pick a color or your own photo to put behind the subject.
Why it never uploads your photo
Most background removers send your image to a server, process it there and send it back. That costs them money for every image, which is why they limit free use or ask you to sign up.
PeelPixel does the work in your browser instead. The model is downloaded once and cached. Your photo stays in your device’s memory and is gone when you close the tab.
Good for anything private
Signed documents, ID-style photos, unreleased products, client work and photos of children are all easier to handle when they never leave your computer. There’s no account, so there’s nothing to delete later either.

Questions
Is it really free?
Yes. Cutting out one image at a time is free with no sign-up. Free downloads are up to 1000 pixels on the long side with a small watermark in the corner. Pro removes the watermark, keeps full resolution and adds batch processing.
Are my images uploaded anywhere?
No. The cutout model runs inside your browser on your own device. The page downloads the model once (about 86 MB) and then works without sending your photo anywhere. You can check this yourself: open your browser’s network panel, add an image, and you’ll see no upload.
Is this a remove.bg alternative?
Yes. remove.bg is closing its website and self-serve API on December 1, 2026, according to its own FAQ. PeelPixel covers the everyday job people used it for: drop an image, get a transparent PNG, optionally put a new color or photo behind it.
Which images work best?
Photos with one clear subject: products, people, pets, cars, logos and signatures. Very fine detail such as loose hair or glass may need a second look before you use the result.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes, in current versions of Chrome, Safari, Edge and Firefox. The first run takes longer while the model downloads, so use Wi-Fi if you can. After that it works offline.
Can I use the results commercially?
Yes. The images you create are yours to use however you like, including in shops and ads, as long as you have the rights to the original photo.
Pro: full size, no watermark, whole folders
The free version is complete for everyday use. Pro is for people who process a lot of images or need print-size files.
- Full original resolution, up to 6000 px on the long side
- No watermark
- Batch: drop dozens of images at once
- One ZIP download for the whole batch
Pro runs the same way as the free version: on your device, with no uploads. Your license key is checked on your device too, so there's no account to create.
