Introduction
With Init Background Remover, you can automatically separate subjects from image backgrounds with just one click. The entire AI processing pipeline runs directly on your device using modern browser-based AI inference technology — improving privacy and reducing the risk of image data leakage.
The latest version also introduces an intelligent AI Model Selection system:
- Automatically analyzes image size and device performance
- Selects the most suitable AI model for balanced speed and quality

You only need to:
- Drag & drop an image or upload a file from your computer
- Select an AI model or use automatic mode
- Click the "Remove Background" button
- Download the transparent PNG result after processing
The result is displayed next to the original image for easy before-and-after comparison.
