    Drop one or several photos, or paste one. Each shows Waiting, then Removing background…, then Done. The first run takes longer while the model downloads.

  6. Pick a format and download

    PNG and WebP keep transparency; JPG gets a white background. Download saves one; Download all (ZIP) saves every finished photo at once.
