Automatically cut out a person from a photo using AI, without having to trace the outline by hand, directly in your browser.
Uses a subject segmentation model (U²-Net) running in your browser via WebAssembly to compute which pixels belong to the person and which to the background, without manually selecting the outline.
Use cases
- Cutting out a person for a resume or team page.

Frequently asked questions
What if there are several people in the photo?
The model detects the main subject as a whole; if several people are close together, they're usually cut out together as a single subject, not individually.
How is this different from "Remove Background from Image"?
It's the same cutout technology; this page is specifically aimed at photos of people (resumes, teams, portraits), with content and examples geared to that use.
