Keep the subject.
Lose the background.

Yes. Cutout is free to use, with no daily image limit, credits, account or subscription. AI runs on your device. Download full-resolution PNGs without a watermark. Image size limits and your device capabilities still apply.

Classic works without a model. Remove a simple background, click with the magic wand, or draw a lasso.

Local AI is optional. Models download only when you click Run AI.

Use a solid or nearly solid background with a subject of a different color. Gradients, shadows, subjects touching the border and matching colors may need a magic wand or lasso. An uncertain background is left unchanged.

No. Your source image, background image, mask and exports stay on your device. Classic does not request an AI model.

JPG, JPEG, PNG and WebP up to 25 MiB. Images must also fit within 24 million pixels and 16,384 pixels on either side. Invalid replacements leave your current image in place.

The clicked color becomes transparent immediately. Contiguous limits removal to connected pixels. Turn it off to include separated areas of the same color. Adjust Tolerance to recompute your current clicks without losing earlier brush or lasso edits.

Edge pixels can mix foreground and background colors. Slightly increase Tolerance, zoom in and use the brush, or add a little Feather. Results depend on the image; Classic does not recognize hair or objects.

Use Keep clicked area instead or keep a closed lasso selection. Undo and Redo restore completed edits. Restore paints the original image back. Reset edits restores the starting mask, either the original or the last successful AI result. A successful AI run starts new history, limited to 48 MiB or 40 steps.

Only after you click Run AI. BEN2 downloads about 219 MB for general subjects; MODNet downloads about 26 MB for portraits and supports CPU. The runtime downloads separately. Automatic download can switch to a mirror. Your image stays on your device.

Switching models cancels the current run and keeps the previous result. Download source, inference device and selected model cache controls are under Advanced. Browsers can evict cached files; offline reopening is not guaranteed.

No. Cutout reuses the loaded model during a session and reads saved model files from browser cache after reloading. Reading cached model means a local read, not a new model download. Switching download sources can reuse the same pinned model files. Clearing site data, private browsing or storage limits may require downloading again.

Start with BEN2 for people, pets, products and other subjects on complex backgrounds. It needs WebGPU with float16 support. Choose MODNet for portraits on CPU or WebGPU; it is a smaller download and is designed for people. Use the brush to refine either result.

PNG keeps transparency with Transparent selected. JPG uses a white background when Transparent is selected. The checkerboard is only a preview and never goes into the exported file.

Choose a solid color or upload a local background image. Background images fill the output without changing the subject proportions. Mask PNG saves the final grayscale alpha: white keeps, black removes, and gray is partly transparent.

Export uses the completed mask and chosen background at the original image dimensions. Zoom only changes your view. Wait for processing to finish before downloading; failed exports leave your work available to retry.
