A model trained on people

This page uses the portrait (MODNet) model by default: about 26 MB, fast and made specifically for cutting out people. For more precise edges around hair, glasses or hands, you can try the detailed (experimental) model; it only starts on stronger graphics cards, otherwise the tool falls back to the fast model on its own. Your image is never uploaded: the cut-out model downloads once and then runs in your browser. No sign-up, and no watermark on the result.

Matching headshots for a team

When everyone on a team needs a headshot with the same background, drop in all the portraits at once, set a colour and a square (1:1) aspect ratio under Fit to subject, and they are all done in one go. Download them together as a ZIP.

For ID or passport photos use the passport photo maker: it also sizes the head to the official rules.

Frequently asked questions

Do you upload my photo anywhere?

No. The cut-out model is downloaded into your browser and your own device processes the image. The photo never leaves it.

Is there a watermark or a lower resolution?

No. The download has the same resolution as your original photo, with no watermark.

What if the hairline looks rough?

Choose the Hair & edges brush and run it along the hair. The tool recalculates transparency from the surrounding colours, so stray hairs become softly see-through.
