RMBG is a free tool that removes backgrounds from images without sending files to external servers. It relies on several open-source AI models, including U2-Net, Silueta, ISNet, and BRIAAI RMBG v1.4. Users choose a model based on the subject, such as people, clothing, or general objects, and process up to twenty images per session.
The application runs on multiple platforms and performs all computations on the local device. This design keeps images private and avoids upload delays. Each file can be up to five megabytes. The program supports batch work, which reduces manual effort when preparing many cutouts for design, e-commerce, or personal projects.
RMBG is maintained by an open community of developers and designers. It has been developed since the early 2020s and is written with web technologies. The project accepts code contributions, new model integrations, and bug reports. It provides a no-cost alternative to subscription-based background removal services while keeping user data on the user's own hardware.
