Remove background free — what free means here
Most tools that say free mean one of five things: a watermark, a downscaled preview with the real file behind a price, a handful of credits, a sign-up wall, or a monthly fee you find out about at the end. Here it means the thing itself, unlimited, at full resolution, with no account. The tool is below.
Free — unlimited, full resolution, no account, no subscription.

JPG, PNG, WebP or AVIF. Up to about 4000 × 4000 pixels.What is free, in full
Unlimited cut-outs. The resolution you put in, out. A real alpha channel, not a white rectangle. No watermark anywhere on the image. No account, no email address, no card. There is no trial that ends and no credit counter to run down, because there is nothing to count: the cut-out runs on your hardware, not ours.
Why it can stay free
The model is small enough to run in a browser tab, so the work happens on your device and costs us nothing beyond keeping this page online. A cost we do not have is a cost we never need to recover from you — which is the whole reason this can be a promise rather than an introductory offer.
The one thing that is not free, and why
There is a second, bigger model running on our model provider's GPUs, offered next to your free result once you can see what you would be improving. It is better on hair, fur and thin edges. That one has a real inference bill per image, so it costs Lumen — the Pixygon-wide wallet — and it is the only thing on this site that costs anything. It is also the only thing here that sends the image anywhere, and it never runs unless you press it.
Questions people ask
Is there a limit on how many images?
No. The free pass has no counter, because there is nothing to meter — every cut-out runs on your own device.
Is the free result watermarked or downscaled?
Neither. You get the PNG at the resolution you put in, with a genuine alpha channel and nothing drawn on top of it. The result you see is the file you download.
Will it start costing money later?
The in-browser pass has no cost for us to recover, so there is no mechanism by which it would need to. The paid server pass already exists and is a separate thing — if that ever turns out to be what you want, it is a one-off purchase of Lumen with no subscription and no expiry.
