What is ClearCut?

ClearCut is a free, browser-based AI background removal tool that instantly removes backgrounds from photos using advanced semantic segmentation. Powered by state-of-the-art AI technology, it analyzes every pixel in your image to cleanly separate subjects from backgrounds — all processed entirely in your browser with zero uploads, zero cloud processing, and zero privacy concerns.

How to Use ClearCut (3 Steps)

  1. 1

    Upload Your Image

    Drag and drop or click to select an image (JPEG, PNG, WebP). Choose your preferred output format — transparent PNG for maximum quality or optimized WebP with adjustable quality settings for smaller file sizes.

  2. 2

    AI Removes Background

    The AI segmentation model runs directly in your browser to detect subjects and remove the background with pixel-level precision. No server uploads — all processing happens on your device, typically completing in a few seconds depending on image size.

  3. 3

    Download Result

    Preview the cut-out result and download your image with the background fully removed. Export as a transparent PNG for editing or a compressed WebP for immediate web use. The original photo never leaves your device at any point.

Why Browser-Based Background Removal Is Safer

Most AI background removal tools — Canva, remove.bg, Adobe Express — upload your images to cloud servers where the AI runs on their infrastructure. ClearCut runs the entire AI model directly in your browser using WebAssembly (WASM), so your images never leave your device. No uploads means no server storage, no third-party access, and no risk of your personal or business photos being exposed or used for AI training.
