Frequently Asked Questions
๐ค Is my image uploaded to any server?โผ
No. Everything runs 100% in your browser using JavaScript and WebGL. Your image never leaves your device โ not even for a millisecond. This is completely private and secure.
๐ข Why is the first run slow?โผ
The AI model (~10MB) needs to download once from Google's CDN the very first time. After that it gets cached in your browser and runs instantly on every subsequent use โ even offline.
๐ท What images give the best results?โผ
Best results on: people/portraits, product photos, and subjects with clear contrast against their background. Tips for better output: use good lighting, avoid busy backgrounds, and try adjusting the Threshold slider if edges look rough.
๐ผ๏ธ What format is the output file?โผ
By default you get a PNG with transparent background โ perfect for use in designs, presentations, and documents. You can also choose a solid replacement background (white, blue, black etc.) and download as JPG.
๐ฑ Does it work on Android and iPhone?โผ
Yes! Works on Chrome, Samsung Browser, Safari, Firefox and all modern mobile browsers. No special settings or app download needed. Just open the page and use it.
๐ Is this tool completely free?โผ
Yes, 100% free โ forever. No account required, no watermarks added, no daily limits, no hidden charges. FileMagic Pro is always free for all users.
๐จ Can I change the background color after removing?โผ
Yes! In the Settings panel, use the "Replace Background" dropdown to choose White, Light Blue, Black, Gray, or any custom color you want. The change is applied instantly before downloading.
๐ What is the maximum image size?โผ
Maximum file size is 20MB. Very large images (above 4000ร4000 px) are automatically scaled down to 1024px for faster AI processing, then the result is rendered at a good quality resolution.
โ๏ธ What is the Threshold slider for?โผ
The Threshold controls how strictly the AI separates foreground from background. Higher value = keeps more of the subject (good for detailed hair/fur). Lower value = removes more aggressively. Adjust it if you see too much background remaining or if the subject is being cut off.
๐ค What AI model does this use?โผ
This tool uses MediaPipe Selfie Segmentation โ a lightweight AI model developed by Google, optimized for real-time browser performance. It works without needing any API key or server connection.
๐ General vs Landscape model โ what's the difference?โผ
General model (Model 0) is optimized for close-up shots โ portraits, selfies, product photos. Landscape model (Model 1) works better for full-body shots and wider scenes. Try both and see which gives better results for your image.
๐ชช Can I use this for passport photos?โผ
Yes! Remove background and then select "White" or "Light Blue" as the replacement color. Then use our Passport Photo Maker tool to create a proper passport photo sheet.
