Everything you need in Smart Background Remover

The model finds the subject

You do not draw a rough lasso first. Review the edge with the slider, then crop or outline if you want.

Crop, shadow, and sticker outline

Trim empty pixels, add padding, drop a soft or hard shadow, or wrap the subject in a white, black, or custom sticker 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

A smart background remover should still leave you in control of the export. Focera isolates the subject locally, then you refine on the same page.

  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. Run smart cutout. 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 smart background remover tool anytime to process another file.

FAQ

Is this smart background remover free?

Yes. Upload a photo, run the cutout, preview the result, and download a PNG or WebP with no account or payment.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. The cutout runs in your browser. Your files stay on this device.

What file do I get from smart background remover?

A PNG or WebP with alpha transparency, so the subject can sit on any new color, photo, or layout.

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 AI model downloads once and is cached by your browser. Later cutouts on this device are much faster.

Can I use the results commercially?

Yes. Transparent files you download are yours for shops, ads, client work, and personal projects.

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.
