ClearCut is a free background remover at clearcutremover.com. This page explains what happens to your images and data.
Your images stay on your device
Background removal runs entirely in your browser using on-device AI (WebAssembly / WebGPU). When you choose a photo, it is processed locally. We do not upload your images to our servers, and we do not send them to a third-party API.
The finished file is saved only if you click Download — and that save goes to your own computer or phone.
Cookies and advertising
ClearCut itself does not use cookies to create user accounts or track uploaded images. However, we use Google AdSense to support this free service. Google and its advertising partners may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses, or similar technologies to serve, personalize, and measure advertisements.
Where required by law, such as for users in the EEA, United Kingdom, and Switzerland, visitors will be asked for consent before personalized advertising technologies are used.
Users may manage their advertising preferences through Google's Ads Settings.
What a host can see
Like any website, the server or CDN that delivers this static page may log standard request data (for example IP address, browser type, and the page you asked for) so the site can load and stay secure. Those logs are not used to identify you for marketing, and they do not include your photos.
Third-party code
The app loads fonts from Google Fonts and uses the open-source
@imgly/background-removal library. Model files needed for
removal are fetched by your browser and run locally. Your photos are
not sent to those vendors as part of processing.
Children
This tool is a general-purpose image editor. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
