Your browser does the cutting. There's no server on the other end.

What this page does, in detail

The file is computed from the original pixels at the original size. There is no HD upsell, because there is no lower tier: the boundary is re-solved at full resolution, tile by tile, and the size beside the save button is the real file.

The first cutout fits colour models to your own picture, with nothing downloaded, so it is at its best when subject and ground differ in colour or brightness. Fine hair against a busy background, glass, netting and motion blur come back rough — the brushes are the honest fix.

If the subject is a person, the Cut panel offers a network trained on people instead — 5.9 MB the first time you ask for it, kept in this browser afterwards, about 90 ms a picture (estimate, not yet timed on a named device for this site).

Large camera photos are welcome. The status bar shows the export size and an estimate of the memory it needs.

Full resolution is the deliverable

Many background removers show you a small preview free and charge for the full-size file. Here the preview is only for your eyes: the save always goes back to the original pixels. The longest-edge cap on the Frame panel starts off, so a 6,000-pixel photo comes out 6,000 pixels wide unless you choose otherwise.

What keeps that affordable in a browser is that the expensive part — deciding the alpha along the edge — runs in 384-pixel tiles with an overlap equal to the filter radius, so the tiled answer is exactly the whole-image answer at a fraction of the memory. Shadows, which are soft by nature, are solved on a working copy no larger than 2,048 pixels and sampled back up.

  • Phones have lower ceilings. iOS limits canvas size far below a desktop; the page offers a lighter copy rather than failing silently.
  • Very large exports take time. A 24-megapixel export with shadows can take several seconds; the page stays responsive because the work runs in a worker.

Questions about HD exports

Is there a resolution limit?

The limit is what a browser tab can hold, not a plan. Up to about 32 megapixels the original is worked on as it is; above that the page asks before working on a lighter copy (no more than 5,000 pixels on the long edge); past about 100 megapixels the browser cannot decode the image and the page says so. On an iPhone or iPad the ceilings are lower, because the browser's canvas is.

Is the HD file free?

Yes. The file is written from the original pixels at the original size, and there is no lower-resolution preview tier to pay past. The size beside the save button is the real file.

The models work at 192 to 1,024 pixels. How can the edge be HD?

The model, or the colour solve, decides roughly where the subject is. The boundary is then re-solved at full resolution: a guided filter reads the original photo's own edges in a band around that rough line, tile by tile. Because the filter is local, the tiled result is the same as the whole-image result — which is how a 24-megapixel edge stays sharp.

How much memory does it need?

The status bar shows an estimate for your picture, computed from what the export actually allocates. Shadows are solved on a bounded working copy and the matting runs in tiles, so the largest costs are the picture's own pixels.
