Remove Background from Selfies
Selfies are processed locally on nobg.eu; you keep control of portrait photos while generating transparent exports.
Definition
A selfie cutout is a portrait segmentation task: hairlines and soft edges are inherently harder than hard product silhouettes.
Privacy note
Core editing is designed to run in your session. You still load the site over HTTPS like any web application.
Quality expectations
Fine hair and uneven lighting may need a high-resolution source and realistic expectations for edge softness.
FAQ
Are selfies uploaded?
Background removal is processed locally in the browser for the primary workflow.
Best file format?
PNG or high-quality JPG from the camera usually work well.

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.
