Question 1

Is this background remover free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Cutline is a free background removal tool with no credits, watermarks, or paid plans. Use it as often as you need.

Question 2

Do I need to sign up?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

Are my photos uploaded?

Accepted Answer

No. The cut runs on your device with an on-device model. Images are not sent to a server for processing.

Question 4

What file types can I use?

Accepted Answer

PNG, JPG, WebP, and GIF photos up to 18 MB. Download the result as a transparent PNG, or composite a new backdrop first.

Question 5

Does the first photo take longer?

Accepted Answer

The first cut downloads the local model once, then the browser caches it. Later photos are faster.
