I built nobg.space — a fully client-side background remover that runs entirely inside the browser.
There is *no server upload*. Images are processed locally using a WebAssembly model, so nothing leaves the user's device. This makes it fast, private, and works even on slow networks.
Why I built it:
- Most background removers upload images to the server
- Many have paywalls, limits, or sign-ups
- I wanted something instant, private, and simple
Features:
- Runs 100% in the browser (no backend)
- Instant removal (1–2 seconds depending on device)
- No ads, no login
- Works offline after load
- Minimal UI
I’d love feedback on:
- performance on different devices
- model accuracy
- UI/UX improvements
- bugs or edge cases
Thanks for checking it out!

Wow! This is amazing. I recently did a search of all of the background removers ever mentioned on HN and this one will be the one I recommend. I have a few images I have as tests for hard cases and this tool has done great and you've thought through some helpful other tools to add to it while keeping them out of the way if you just need to remove the background. Well done and thank you!
