Is my image uploaded to a server?

No. Background removal runs entirely in your browser using an on-device model, so the image never leaves your computer.

Does it cost anything?

Background removal in the browser is free. The optional AI background fill uses your own provider key and is the only part that can incur a cost.

A transparent PNG of the cutout, an SVG with an optional soft vector shadow, and a layered PSD with the background and subject on separate layers.

Does it work on photos?

Yes, best on clear subjects that stand out from the background. Busy or low-contrast scenes are harder to cut cleanly.

Background removal

Remove an image background — free, in your browser

CleanVector cuts out product photos, logos, and portraits entirely on your device — the image is never uploaded. Add an optional soft vector shadow so the subject does not look flat, then download a transparent PNG, an SVG, or a layered PSD with the background and subject on separate layers.

Use this when you need a clean cutout for a marketplace listing, thumbnail, ad, or design, and you would rather not upload your image to a server.

Practical workflow

1
Upload an image
Pick a PNG or JPG. The background remover loads in the browser the first time and is cached after that.
2
Remove the background
The subject is cut out to transparency on your device. Optionally add and adjust a soft shadow, or reconstruct the background.
3
Download
Save a transparent PNG, an SVG with the shadow, or a layered PSD you can keep editing in Photoshop.

What it helps with

Runs entirely in your browser — your image is never uploaded, which keeps private or client work private.
Adds a soft, adjustable vector shadow so the cutout does not look pasted on.
Exports a layered PSD with separate background and subject layers for further editing.

Good source images still matter

Works best on clear subjects that are well separated from the background.

Very detailed or low-contrast scenes are harder to cut cleanly.

A modern browser with GPU (WebGPU) support runs it fastest; older devices may be slower.
