Question 1

Is the background remover really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. There are no credits or watermarks, and no account is needed.

Question 2

Are my images uploaded anywhere?

Accepted Answer

No. The image is processed on your own device and never sent to a server.

Question 3

Why is the PNG larger than my original JPG?

Accepted Answer

Transparent images are saved as lossless PNG. Choose WebP under Export to keep the transparency at a fraction of the size, or JPG to put the subject on a solid background.

Question 4

Is there a size limit?

Accepted Answer

Very large photos are scaled down before processing so your browser doesn't run out of memory: to about 16 megapixels on iPhone and iPad, and about 36 megapixels elsewhere.
