Privacy policy
This early-access policy explains the current MVP. We designed the product so your source image and result stay on your device.
Images
Your photo is read by your browser and processed locally. ClearCut BG's web server does not receive, store or share your source image or result.
AI model files
To avoid running a costly upload service, your browser may download open AI model and runtime files from a public content delivery network. Those requests include standard network metadata but not your photo.
Operational data
We record anonymous usage metrics: page paths, language, referrer domain, browser user agent, viewport width, IP address and an approximate location (country/region/city) inferred from that IP. Requests are classified by user agent as human visitors, AI training crawlers, AI user-triggered fetchers, or other bots; IP data is used for abuse detection and aggregate geography only and is never linked to your images. When you use the tool, the file name of the image you process is recorded, transmitted RSA-encrypted and never together with the image itself; images are never uploaded. A random pseudonymous visitor ID is kept in a first-party cookie and localStorage for up to 400 days. Aggregated interaction analytics are provided by Microsoft Clarity, which uses its own first-party cookies and masks text entered on the page.

Remove a Background NowFAQ
Is ClearCut BG free to use?
Yes. The first version offers free browser-based background removal with no signup and no watermark.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. The current editor runs the AI model in your browser. Your original image and result stay on your device unless you choose to save them.
Which formats can I upload and download?
You can upload common JPG, PNG and WebP images up to 30 MB. Transparent results download as PNG or WebP.
Can it remove backgrounds from people and products?
Yes. The model is designed for automatic foreground segmentation, including people, products, animals and many everyday objects.
Does the result have a watermark?
No. Free downloads do not include a ClearCut BG watermark.
Why does the first image take longer?
Your browser downloads and caches the AI model once. Later images usually process much faster.
Can I use the images commercially?
You keep control of the images you process. You are responsible for having rights to the source photo and for complying with the rules of the platform where you publish it.
What happens if remove.bg is unavailable?
ClearCut BG is built as an independent alternative with the essential upload, automatic cutout and transparent-download workflow.
