FAQ
About this free background remover
- Is this background remover free?
- Yes. Cutline is a free background removal tool with no credits, watermarks, or paid plans. Use it as often as you need.
- Do I need to sign up?
- No. Joining is optional. Open the page, drop a photo, and download the cutout. A free studio is there only if you want cuts across devices.
- Are my photos uploaded?
- No. The cut runs on your device with an on-device model. Images are not sent to a server for processing.
- What file types can I use?
- PNG, JPG, WebP, and GIF photos up to 18 MB. Download the result as a transparent PNG, or composite a new backdrop first.
- Does the first photo take longer?
- The first cut downloads the local model once, then the browser caches it. Later photos are faster.
