Running AI model…
Three steps to a clean cutout
Your photos are processed by an AI model running on your own machine — nothing is sent to a third-party service.
1 · Upload
Drag & drop, browse, or paste any JPG, PNG, or WebP straight from your clipboard.
2 · Remove
The AI model segments your subject — people, hair, pets, products. Fine-tune with brushes if needed.
3 · Download
Keep it transparent, or drop in a color, gradient, or photo — then export as PNG or JPG in HD.
Everything you'd expect, nothing you don't
A complete AI background toolkit — self-hosted and free.
True AI segmentation
U²-Net and ISNet models understand subjects — not just colors — for clean cuts on busy backgrounds.
Hair & fur refinement
Optional alpha matting recovers fine strands and soft edges around hair and fur.
Four specialist models
Standard, precise, fast, and anime — pick the engine that fits your image.
Smart, erase & restore brushes
The smart brush only removes pixels matching where your stroke starts — clean edges without precision work.
Pen / lasso selection
When auto-detection misses, draw a region by hand — then erase inside it or keep only what you selected.
Background swap & blur
Solid colors, gradients, a custom picker, your own photo — or blur the original backdrop.
Batch processing
Drop in multiple photos at once and download every cutout in a single ZIP.
Upload by URL
Paste a link to any image on the web and ClearCut fetches it for you.
Before / after compare
Hold the compare button to flip back to your original at any moment.
Undo, reset & HD export
Step back with Ctrl+Z and download transparent PNGs or compact JPGs.
Offline fallback
If the AI engine isn't running, a built-in edge detector keeps the site fully usable.
Private by design
Everything runs on your own machine. No accounts, no uploads to the cloud, no limits.
Made for every kind of image
People, products, pets, illustrations — the AI handles them all.
