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.
Does ClearCut work offline?
Once the web app loads in your browser, the neural network model runs locally on your device hardware using WebAssembly, meaning it works even with poor internet connectivity.
