Everything you need in Remove Background API

No endpoint to provision

This page is not a REST API. You upload a file in the browser, run cutout locally, and download PNG or WebP.

Crop, shadow, and sticker outline

Trim leftover empty space, add padding, drop a soft or hard shadow, or wrap the subject in a white, black, or custom stroke.

PNG or WebP with true alpha

Save a transparent PNG for the widest compatibility, or WebP when you need a smaller web-ready file.

100% browser-based

Cutouts run locally with ONNX models. Photos stay on your device for private, free edits.

How It Works

Searching for a remove-background API often means keys and invoices. Focera is the opposite: local inference when you just need a file, with nothing posted to a removal service.

  1. Upload your image. Drag and drop a JPG, PNG, or WebP file up to 10 MB, or click the upload zone to browse. Your original preview appears immediately on the right.
  2. Remove the background in the browser. Click Make background transparent to run AI cutout in your browser. A loading indicator shows model download and processing progress on the first visit.
  3. Refine and download. Use the before/after slider to inspect edges, then crop to the subject, add padding, a drop shadow, or a sticker outline. Download a transparent PNG or WebP.

Jump back to the remove background api tool anytime to process another file.

FAQ

Is this remove background api free?

Yes. No API key, usage plan, or invoice. The cutout runs in your browser and you download the file here.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. Nothing is posted to a removal API. Segmentation runs in this browser, so the original file stays on your device.

What file do I get from remove background api?

A PNG or WebP with alpha, downloaded from this page. There is no REST endpoint or SDK package to install.

Can I crop the cutout, add a shadow, or a sticker outline?

Yes. After the backdrop is gone, crop to the subject, add padding, apply a drop shadow, or add a white, black, or custom outline, then download.

Which image formats are supported?

Upload JPG, PNG, or WebP files up to 10 MB. Download a transparent PNG or WebP.

Why does the first run take longer?

The model downloads once into this browser and is cached. There is no remote GPU queue because work stays local.

Can I use the results commercially?

Yes. The PNG or WebP you download is yours. This page is not a billed API, so there is no usage-license tier.

Need a new background instead?

Swap in a solid color or custom photo, blur the scene, or keep using everyday image utilities in one fast hub.
