Free background remover that never uploads your image

By Alex, editor · Updated October 25, 2026 · Published by Ecomparadise, LLC

Remove backgrounds from photos, product shots, signatures and logos in your browser. Transparent PNG, white or any colour. No watermark.

Choose images, drag them here, or paste (Ctrl+V / Cmd+V)
JPG, PNG, WEBP. Up to 30 at once. Stays on your device.

Choose an image to start. Nothing is uploaded.

Looking for a remove.bg alternative? remove.bg has announced that its standalone website will no longer be available from 1 December 2026, with its background removal moving into Canva (see the remove.bg FAQ). If you just need a quick cut-out without an account, CutRuler works in any modern browser: no sign-up, no watermark, and your image never leaves your device. The honest trade-off: very fine hair, fur and glass can come out softer than with paid server tools, so check the edges.

How it works

  1. Choose, drop or paste one or more images.
  2. Pick a mode. "Photo (AI)" runs a segmentation model on your device; the first run downloads it once (about 44 MB). "Signature, logo or stamp" removes a plain background colour instantly, with no download.
  3. Choose transparent, white or any colour, and the size. You can change these afterwards without re-running.
  4. Download PNG (transparent) or JPG (solid background).

Honest limits

Your images stay private

Most free background removers upload your photo to a server. CutRuler runs the model in your browser, so your images never leave your device. That matters for signatures, ID photos and unreleased products.

Frequently asked questions

Is it really free?

Yes. It runs on your device, so each image costs us nothing.

Can I remove the background from a signature?

Yes. Use "Signature, logo or stamp" mode for the cleanest result.

Does it work on phones?

Yes, in a recent browser. The AI mode is slower on phones than on laptops.

The Rulers
