Privacy note

Processing happens locally in your browser using an on-device AI model. Your image is never uploaded to Sounez servers. Model files download once from the configured CDN.

When not to use this tool

Skip busy crowd photos where multiple people are close together, as edge detection becomes unreliable. Also avoid images you do not have the rights to edit or redistribute.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it upload my photo to a server?

No. Background removal runs entirely in your browser using a local AI model. Your image never leaves your device and is not sent to Sounez or any third-party server.

Why is the first run slow?

The AI model downloads once the first time you use the tool, then later runs are faster. Subsequent removals in the same session do not need to re-download the model.

Which file types work?

PNG, JPG, and WEBP up to 10 MB on most devices. Very large or high-resolution images may be slower depending on your device's available memory.
