Image Background Removal

Remove the background from an image in your browser

A focused background remover for people who want a simple workflow without sending an image to a remote image-processing API.

PixelErase AI is built around a browser-local image background remover powered by BiRefNet Lite and ONNX Runtime Web. After you choose an image, the browser prepares the pixels, runs the segmentation model on the available execution backend, and builds a transparent result for download.

This makes the tool useful for product photos, profile pictures, social media graphics, marketplace images, presentations, thumbnails, and design projects where a clean subject cutout is needed. Supported input formats include JPG, PNG, and WebP.

Why Browser-Local AI

Designed to keep image processing on the device

The page still needs a server to deliver the application and model files, but the image inference is performed in the browser.

◉

Browser-Local Inference

BiRefNet Lite runs through ONNX Runtime Web in the browser rather than using a remote background-removal API for the AI step.

▣

Transparent PNG Workflow

Review the cutout against a checkerboard transparency preview, then download the processed image in a supported format.

Simple Desktop Workflow

Upload, remove the background, review the result, and download without managing an API key for the browser-local workflow.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about browser-local background removal with PixelErase AI.

Does PixelErase AI upload my image to the server?

For the browser-local BiRefNet Lite remover, image inference runs in your browser. The image is not sent to a remote background-removal API for processing.

Which image formats are supported?

The tool accepts JPG, PNG, and WebP images. You can choose a supported download format after processing.

Is BiRefNet Lite running locally?

Yes. The BiRefNet Lite ONNX model is loaded by the browser and inference is performed locally using the browser execution backend selected by ONNX Runtime Web.

Do I need an API key?

No API key is required for the browser-local background-removal workflow.

Why can processing take time on some computers?

Processing speed depends on your browser, CPU, available browser GPU support, image dimensions, model loading time, and the execution backend used by ONNX Runtime Web.

Does browser-local processing mean the server does nothing?

No. The server still delivers the webpage, JavaScript, and ONNX model file. The image inference itself is performed in the browser, which is designed to reduce server-side image-processing load.
