Maintainers of Background Remover

Background Remover is built and maintained by a small independent team. We write the guides on this site and test every claim against real files before it is published.

How the testing works

Every platform guide on this site starts with two reference files, a 4032x3024 photograph and a transparent PNG. They get uploaded to the real platform through its real interface, downloaded again, and measured: byte counts, pixel dimensions, format, and whether the EXIF block survived. Where the platform serves the file back over the web, the stored bytes are hashed in the browser and compared against the original, so an untouched file can be proven untouched rather than assumed.

Results that came out boring are published as boring. Several platforms leave a file completely untouched, and those pages say so. A guide without a fresh measurement behind it does not ship at all, which is why some platforms are missing rather than estimated.

Guides, shortly

The guide library is written and measured but not published yet. It goes up in one batch rather than trickling out half-finished pages. In the meantime the background remover itself is free and needs no account.
