Why local processing matters

nobg.eu runs background removal in your browser session. The goal is simple: fewer unnecessary image transfers and faster starts than upload-first pipelines—without promising impossible quality on every edge case.

No upload image editing

Core cutout processing is designed as local image processing: you open a file, the model runs client-side, you export. You still load the website and assets over HTTPS like any site.

Browser AI explained

Browser AI here means inference executes in web runtime (WebGPU when available, with fallbacks). It is not a generic “cloud brain”—it is on-device execution after the app loads.
