EraseBG removes image backgrounds directly in a browser, processing images on the user’s device.
What EraseBG is
EraseBG removes image backgrounds directly in a browser, processing images on the user’s device. It accepts JPG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC files, including multiple images at once. The editor provides erase and restore brushes, undo and redo, background choices, and a before-and-after comparison. Optional 2× and 4× upscaling also runs on the device. Users can export full-resolution PNG, WebP, or JPG files, or download a batch as a ZIP. EraseBG says images stay in tab memory and are not collected, stored, or transmitted. The site has no accounts, tracking, advertising, or third-party analytics; model and theme settings are saved in browser storage. After the model is cached, later visits can work offline. The browser-only product has no API, but its MIT-licensed source can be self-hosted. The free plan costs nothing and has no usage limits, with full-resolution downloads and no account or watermark. Commercial use is allowed.
