Why ClearCut is different

  • Free full quality

    Other online BG removers lock full resolution behind a paywall. ClearCut exports the same quality you uploaded, every time.

  • Completely private — no upload

    Your photos never leave this device. There is no cloud API and no image is sent to a third party.

  • No signup, no limits

    No account, no credits, no watermark. Use this free background remover as often as you need.

  • Open source

    ClearCut is AGPL-licensed. You can read the code, run it yourself, or contribute on GitHub.

Frequently asked questions

Is ClearCut really free?

Yes. ClearCut is a free background remover with no signup, no watermark, and no per-image fee. Remove as many backgrounds as you want.

Does it reduce image quality?

No. You keep full resolution. PNG export is lossless and transparent. JPEG and WEBP include a quality slider only if you want a smaller file.

Are my photos uploaded to any server?

No. Processing runs entirely in your browser. Photos are not uploaded to ClearCut or sent to a third-party API. See the privacy page.

What image formats are supported?

Upload JPG, PNG, or WEBP. Download as PNG (transparent), JPEG, or WEBP.

Can I use it commercially?

Yes. Photos you export are yours to use in commercial work. The AGPL-3.0 license covers the ClearCut software, not your downloaded images.
