How it works

An AI model identifies the foreground subject (person, object, animal) and isolates it from the background. The model runs entirely in your browser — your photo never uploads to any server. First use takes ~10 seconds to load the model (~30 MB cached); subsequent uses process in 3-5 seconds.
