What Background Gone is
Background Gone is a free tool for removing image backgrounds in a browser, with options to leave the cutout transparent or put it over a replacement background. It offers three AI engines—ISNet Precision, ISNet Lightweight, and RMBG-1.4—and can process batches of up to 20 images without watermarks on its free plan. Add JPEG, PNG, WebP, or HEIC images by dragging them in, choosing them with a click, or pasting from the clipboard. Processing takes place in the browser using WebAssembly or WebGPU; the project says images remain on the device. If WebGPU is unavailable, the engines can fall back to WebAssembly.
Results can use transparency, a solid color, a gradient, or a custom image. Downloads are lossless PNGs, with optional background replacement. After the first model download, the tool can work offline using a model cached in IndexedDB. It requires no account or cloud dependency and is designed for self-hosting without a backend, database, or API keys. Its listed browser requirements are Chrome 91+, Edge 91+, Firefox 89+, and Safari 16.4+.
