Two different models, each downloaded once when first used. If one leaves pieces behind, try the other.
What this does
A segmentation model finds the main subject, and everything else is made transparent or filled with white or black. There are two openly licensed models: ISNet (Apache-2.0), trained on everyday objects, for products and things; and ormbg (Apache-2.0), trained on people, which also does well on animals. Both run in your browser through WebAssembly, so the photo never leaves your device.
Limits
- The first run of each model downloads it once, about 45 MB, from Hugging Face: a download of the model, never an upload of your photo.
- Neither model is perfect. The object model can leave specks on grass or gravel; the people model can drop parts of large objects. Check the result, and try the other model if needed.
- It keeps the most prominent subject. Busy scenes, like a full shelf, can come out partly cut.
- Each photo takes about 10 seconds on a laptop, longer on phones.
Is this private?
Yes, and you can check rather than take our word for it. Open your browser's network tab and run the tool: your file never appears in it, because there is no server to send it to. The ONNX runtime is served from this same domain. The background model you pick is downloaded once from Hugging Face: a download of the model, never an upload of your photo.
