About the background remover
Background removal is one of the highest-volume image-editing tasks on the web, and renza's free remover does it without uploads, signups or watermarks. A compact matting model (MODNet) downloads once into your browser, about 6MB, and runs locally on every photo after that. It is tuned for people and pets: portraits, full-body shots, selfies and headshots come out with clean edges and a genuine alpha channel, so the PNG drops straight into presentations, listings and designs. Because nothing is uploaded, it is also the private option, the photo stays on your device end to end. For the cases a lightweight local model cannot nail, products with complex silhouettes, wisps of hair against busy backgrounds, semi-transparent fabric, the Pro remover runs a full image-edit model (Nano Banana) on renza's servers and costs a few credits. And if what you actually want is a new scene behind the subject, /tools/background-changer replaces the background in one step.

Tips for best results
Things that meaningfully improve the output.
People and pets work best
The free in-browser model is a portrait matting specialist. Headshots, full-body photos and pet portraits give the cleanest cutouts.
Good lighting separates subject from background
Photos where the subject is clearly lit and contrasts with the background convert cleanest. Backlit or low-contrast photos are harder.
Products and tricky edges: use Pro
Complex product silhouettes, jewelry, glass and fine hair against busy backgrounds are where the Pro AI remover earns its credits.
Want a new background instead?
If you want to replace the background rather than just remove it, use /tools/background-changer, one step, and the new scene lighting matches the subject.
Need more than background remover?
renza's AI tools remove backgrounds, erase objects, restore old photos and upscale to print quality. Free credits at signup, no credit card.

Is the output a transparent PNG?
Yes, a real one. The free remover produces a PNG with a true alpha channel, ready to layer over any design, slide or product page.
Does my photo get uploaded?
No. The AI model runs inside your browser. The photo never leaves your device, which also makes this the private option.
Is it really free and unlimited?
Yes. The in-browser remover costs nothing to run, so there is no limit, no watermark and no signup. Only the Pro remover (a full server-side AI model for tricky photos) uses credits.
What is the difference between free and Pro?
Free runs a compact matting model locally, excellent on people and pets. Pro sends the photo through Nano Banana, a full image-edit model that handles products, fine hair and busy scenes better. Around 5 credits per photo, packs from $4.99.
Commercial use?
Yes, output is fully yours to use commercially.
