First image takes 10–20 seconds — Pencilbox needs to download a ~10 MB model to your browser the first time you use this tool. After that, the model is cached and every subsequent image processes in seconds. The model runs entirely on your device — the image never leaves.

Questions & answers

Is the background remover free?

Yes — it's completely free with no sign-up, watermarks, or limits on how many images you process.

Are my photos uploaded to a server?

No. The background is removed by an on-device model that runs inside your browser, so your images never leave your device.

What image formats can I use?

You can drop in JPG, PNG, or WebP images, and the result is saved as a transparent PNG.
