What image formats are supported?
The tool supports all common web formats including JPG, JPEG, PNG, WebP, SVG, and HEIC.
Can I batch process multiple images?
Yes! Upload multiple images at once and apply the same background removal settings to all of them in a single batch.

Absolutely. All processing happens locally in your browser using Canvas APIs. Your images are never uploaded to any server or stored anywhere.
