Portrait background removal needs a first-use AI model download. The model is cached where browser storage is available and reused on this page. Complex hair and edges still need inspection.

Best with a clear human subject

MODNet is a portrait-matting model. It estimates an alpha mask for a person, including soft edges such as hair. Complex backgrounds, multiple people, transparent fabrics, and fine accessories may need manual cleanup. It is not a general-purpose product cutout model.

A practical workflow

Choose a portrait up to 4 megapixels. The model processes a resized view and applies the mask at original dimensions. Inspect edges against both light and dark backgrounds, then save transparent PNG. No manual brush editor is included.

Before you export

Use only media you own or have permission to process. Keep the source and inspect the result. Desktop Chrome or Edge is a useful starting point; memory, codecs, and graphics support vary by device. A readable error means the current file or environment needs a different workflow, not that a result was created.

Will it work for product photography?

This model is tuned for people. It may remove or damage nonhuman objects. Use a person-focused portrait here; verify the transparent result before placing it in a design.
