On-Device Background Removal
New
On-Device Background Removal — remove image backgrounds fully offline after a one-time model download, in single images or full batches with per-file progress and cancellation. Supports JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, TIFF, AVIF, and BMP; export a transparent cutout or replace the background with white, black, or a custom color. Right-click a supported image and choose Remove Background to jump straight in.
Improved
Much cleaner cutouts — upgraded the offline AI from 320px Silueta to the 1024px IS-Net model, with smoother confidence-based edges and preserved existing transparency
Clearer background-removal setup — see the one-time model download size and progress, cancel a download, or delete the model to reclaim storage
Safer image compression — JPG, PNG, WebP, and GIF compression now keeps the original file whenever reprocessing would not make it smaller
Leaner on-device AI support — desktop releases include only the files your OS and computer need
Fixed
Fixed background-removed images showing horizontal scan lines and broken transparency
Fixed small PNGs losing clean transparency after compression
Fixed compressed images becoming larger than the originals
Fixed photos changing orientation after compression
Fixed batch compression producing unreadable files for unsupported formats
