Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I remove the background from a photo?
- Upload a JPG, PNG, or WebP image, click the person or object you want to keep, wait for the on-device model to create the selection, adjust the crop if needed, and download the isolated subject as a transparent PNG.
- Is the background remover free to use?
- Yes. The current image segmenter costs $0, requires no subscription, credits, account, login, or payment card, and does not add a Paper Animation watermark to the downloaded PNG. There is no daily download quota in the product.
- Can I crop the selection before downloading?
- Yes. After the subject is isolated, the crop interface lets you refine the area around the cutout before creating the transparent PNG. Keep a small margin when the image will receive a paper border or drop shadow later.
- Does the image segmenter upload my photo?
- No. The subject-selection model and image processing run locally in the browser. The source photo is not uploaded to a Paper Animation server, although separate website analytics may process browser and interaction data as explained in the Privacy Policy.
