A free remove.bg alternative
EasyCutout removes image backgrounds automatically, the way remove.bg did: open the page, drop in an image, download a transparent PNG. It’s free in full resolution, with no account and no credits.
remove.bg’s standalone website closes on December 1, 2026, and its background removal is moving into Canva. For unused credits, subscriptions or API access, see remove.bg’s FAQ.

How to use it
- Open EasyCutout. There’s nothing to install and no sign-up.
- Upload, drag in or paste (Ctrl+V) your photo. The background is removed automatically.
- Optionally pick a background color, crop or resize, then download a PNG or JPG.
Your recent images stay in your browser, so you can come back and download or edit them again later.
What’s different from remove.bg
- It runs on your device. The first time, your browser downloads the AI model (about 100 MB) and keeps it for next time. After that, most photos take a few seconds. That’s also why it can be free: each image costs us nothing.
- Your photos aren’t uploaded. There’s nothing for us to store or delete.
- No API, apps or bulk processing. EasyCutout is for one photo at a time in the browser.
- Edge quality. People, pets and products come out well. Very fine hair, fur or busy scenes can be rougher than remove.bg was. Cropping around the subject and pressing “Redo removal” often helps.
