How it works
Remove BG runs RMBG-1.4, a background-removal AI model, inside a Web Worker in your browser — using WebGPU where available and falling back to WASM automatically when it isn't. The model downloads from a CDN the first time you use it and is then cached by your browser for every visit after that.
Your image itself is never uploaded; only the model files come from the CDN, and the actual cutout computation happens on your device, start to finish. Free output tops out at 2048 pixels on the longest side; Pro raises that ceiling to 4096 pixels.
Backgrounds can be left transparent, filled with a solid colour, or — on Pro — replaced with a gradient, an image, or a blur, with optional drop shadows, a sticker-style outline, trim and padding, and refine brushes for erasing or restoring edges by hand.

Questions
Does PiqPair upload my photo to remove the background?
No. Only the AI model files are downloaded from a CDN; your image itself is processed by that model directly in your browser and is never sent to PiqPair or anywhere else.
Why is background removal sometimes slow the first time?
The RMBG-1.4 model has to download from a CDN before it can run at all. Your browser caches that model after the first use, so later background removals start noticeably faster on the same device.
Does background removal need a powerful device?
It runs faster on devices with WebGPU support, but automatically falls back to WASM on devices or browsers without it, so background removal still works — just more slowly — on older hardware.
Can I replace the background instead of just removing it?
Yes. Free accounts can fill with a solid colour or leave the background transparent; Pro adds gradients, image backgrounds, blur, drop shadows, a sticker-style outline, and manual erase or restore brushes.
What is the maximum output size for background removal?
Free output is capped at 2048 pixels on the longest side of the image; a Pro account raises that ceiling to 4096 pixels for the same background-removal process.
Can I remove backgrounds from multiple images at once?
Yes, on Pro — batch background removal processes many images together with a single ZIP download at the end. Guests and free accounts process one image at a time instead.
