Frequently Asked Questions
How does the background removal work?
The tool uses color-distance detection to identify and remove pixels that match the selected background color. You pick the background color, adjust the tolerance slider, and the tool makes matching pixels transparent with smooth edge blending.
What does the Sample Corners feature do?
The Sample Corners button automatically detects the background color by averaging the pixel colors from the four corners of your image. This is useful when the background is a solid or near-solid color like white or green.
How does the tolerance setting affect the result?
The tolerance slider (0–150) controls how similar a pixel must be to the background color to be removed. Higher tolerance removes more pixels including slightly different shades, while lower tolerance only removes exact color matches.
Is my image data sent to any server?
No. All image processing happens locally in your browser using the Canvas API. Your images are never uploaded or transmitted to any server, ensuring your data remains completely private.
Can I use the Background Remover on my phone?
Yes, the tool is fully responsive and works on all devices. On smaller screens the original and result panels stack vertically for comfortable use on smartphones and tablets.
