FAQ
Questions, Answered.
Is erasebackground.org really free?
Yes. Removing backgrounds is completely free, with no sign-up, no credits and no watermark, including full-resolution downloads and the bulk remover.
Do you upload my photos?
No. Your images are processed by an AI model running inside your browser. They are never uploaded to our servers or stored anywhere.
Why is the first image slower?
The first time, your browser downloads the AI model (about 100 MB). It’s cached afterwards, so the next images start right away.
What image formats are supported?
You can use JPG, PNG and WebP images, and download as PNG, WebP or JPG. PNG and WebP keep the background transparent.
Can I remove backgrounds from many images at once?
Yes. The bulk remover handles many images or a whole folder and lets you download everything as one ZIP.
Which browsers and devices work?
Recent versions of Chrome, Edge, Safari and Firefox. It’s fastest on a computer with a graphics card; phones work but can be slower with large photos.
Can I use the images commercially?
Yes. We place no restrictions on the images you download. You just need the rights to the original photo.
