Tooloat

Remove background from image

Cut people, products and pets out of their backgrounds, hair and fur included. Two small neural networks run in your browser: one finds the subject, one works out how transparent every strand is. The result is a clean transparent PNG that you can also preview on a color of your choice.

Tooloat runs in your browser and needs JavaScript. It opens in a moment, and your files are processed on your device.

How it works

  1. Drop a photo, or several.
  2. Keep the model for hair and fur, or pick a faster one.
  3. Download the transparent PNG or WebP.

Why use it

  • A matting network traces every strand, so hair and fur keep their soft edges.
  • Three models, from a 6 MB portrait model to the 83 MB hair model, all cached after the first download.
  • Batch processing with a ZIP download.
  • No credits, no watermark, no upload.

Questions and answers

How does it work without a server?

The models are downloaded once and then run on your device through WebAssembly or WebGPU. Your photo is only ever read by your own browser.

Which model should I pick?

Best for hair and fur is the default: it finds the subject, then a matting network works out the transparency of every strand. Quick uses one network and takes about half the time. Portraits is the smallest download and suits people.

Can I use the results commercially?

The tool does not add any restriction of its own. Check the license of the photo itself, which is separate.
