A free remove.bg alternative, no credits needed
remove.bg is fast and accurate, but full-resolution downloads cost credits and photos are uploaded. KazamTools removes backgrounds on your own device for free.
Facts about remove.bg checked on from its public pages (sources below).
remove.bg is a dedicated AI background remover with apps, plugins and an API. According to its help pages, previews on the website are free but small (up to 0.25 megapixels, about 625 × 400 pixels), and each full-resolution download uses one credit. Credits come with a subscription or as pay-as-you-go packs. Images are uploaded to its servers for processing.
The KazamTools background remover downloads an open-source AI model to your browser once, then cuts out the subject on your device. Downloads are full resolution (up to 16 megapixels), free and unlimited, and the photo never leaves your phone or computer.

Frequently asked questions
Is the KazamTools background remover really free at full resolution?
Yes. There are no credits, previews or watermarks. The AI runs on your device, so a bigger photo costs us nothing extra. Very large photos are scaled to 16 megapixels, which phones and browsers can handle safely.
Why is the first run slower than remove.bg?
Your browser downloads the AI model once (about 44 to 115 MB, depending on the model you pick). remove.bg runs its model on its own servers instead, which is why your photo has to be uploaded there.
Which gives better cut-outs?
For people, products and pets on clear backgrounds, both give clean results. On very fine hair or busy backgrounds a large commercial model can be cleaner. Try your photo with our background remover first: it is free and private.
Can I make a passport photo with a white background?
Yes. Use the passport photo maker, which also sizes and positions your face for common countries. Check your passport office rules, as some do not accept edited backgrounds.
