Background removal on your device
The image model runs in your browser. Photos are not sent to a background-removal API. The first use downloads the processing files; your browser may cache them for later.
Sharp photos with a subject clearly separated from the background work best. Hair, transparent objects and busy backgrounds may leave edges or lose detail. Check the result before downloading.
Frequently asked questions
Does the downloaded PNG have a transparent background?
After removing the background, saving the selected image creates a sticker PNG. Exporting the whole canvas includes the paper background and all layout elements; the two exports differ.
Does it work on phones?
Yes, the interface adapts to small screens. Background removal needs memory and processing time; newer computers and phones give a better experience.
Does it create WhatsApp or Zalo sticker packs?
It currently creates and downloads PNG images. Importing them as a sticker pack depends on the features and requirements of your messaging app.
