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
