What is ByeBackground?

ByeBackground is a free online tool that removes backgrounds from photos with a privacy-first approach. It runs entirely in your web browser — no downloads or installations required — and is powered by the BRIA Background Removal v1.4 algorithm. Because all processing happens locally on your device, your images are never sent to any server.

Key characteristics:

• Private: Images never leave your device; no big servers or external services are involved.
• Free: No cost, no credits, no hidden fees.
• Quality preserved: The original image resolution is kept intact.
• No ads or trackers: A strict policy against advertising and tracking keeps your data safe.
• Cross-device: Works smoothly on both desktops and mobile devices.

Who created ByeBackground?

ByeBackground was built by a developer focused on user privacy. It uses the BRIA Background Removal v1.4 algorithm, which is available under a Creative Commons license for non-commercial use. Since the tool runs directly in the browser, all image processing stays on the user’s device.
