How AI Background Removal Works

Pixkit runs the RMBG AI model locally in your browser via WebAssembly — no server involved. The AI separates subjects from backgrounds entirely on your device. The model (~150 MB) is downloaded once and cached for future visits.

Best Conditions for Accurate Results

High contrast between subject and background yields the best results. Works great for portraits, product photos on white, and animal photos. Fine details like hair can be touched up with the manual editing tool.

Manual Editing

After AI processing, use the eraser to remove remaining background or the restore tool to bring back accidentally removed areas. Adjustable brush size and Ctrl+Z undo are supported.
