Browser-only image flow
No Python inference server, GPU service, image-processing API, or image database is required for the current tools.

Remove the background.
Keep the photo private.
FlytheBG removes backgrounds, crops transparent PNGs, and builds passport-photo sheets directly in your browser—without an image-processing server.

Built for useful work
The visual stays cinematic. The tools stay readable.
Decorative motion is isolated to the landing hero. Every image workspace uses solid surfaces, clear states, native file selection, and responsive controls.
Smaller model download
Background removal uses IMG.LY’s quantized IS-Net model directly, avoiding the much larger automatic FP16 download.
Static-host friendly
The production app exports to static HTML, CSS, and JavaScript so hosting cost stays focused on serving files and bandwidth.

Remove Background
Choose, drag, drop, or paste a photo. The smaller quantized model runs directly in the browser, and a conservative edge pass helps retain fine hair and clothing boundaries.

Passport Photo Maker
Remove the background locally with the same smaller browser model or keep the original. Set exact size, frame the subject, fill a print sheet, and export at measured DPI.

From photo to output without a server round-trip.
The browser owns the image lifecycle from selection through download.
- 01Select locally
Native file input, drag and drop, or paste where supported.
- 02Process locally
The smaller IMG.LY quantized model/runtime assets load into the browser only when background removal is requested.
- 03Edit locally
Crop, frame, resize, color, and sheet composition happen with browser APIs.
- 04Download and clear
Start the download, then release working data controlled by the page.
FAQ
What the browser does—and what it does not.
Does FlytheBG upload my photo?+
The current background remover, crop tool, and Passport Photo Maker process image content in your browser. FlytheBG does not intentionally send image bytes to Render, Supabase, or an image database.
Why can the first background removal take longer?+
The browser must download the smaller IMG.LY quantized model and runtime assets on the first run. Later runs can be faster because the browser may cache those software assets.
Which background-removal model does FlytheBG use?+
FlytheBG now uses IMG.LY's smaller quantized IS-Net model directly for the automatic browser workflow. The larger FP16 model is not downloaded automatically, which reduces startup bandwidth and memory pressure.
How does FlytheBG protect hair and clothing edges?+
FlytheBG cannot retrain IMG.LY's pretrained model in your browser. Instead, after removal it can conservatively rebuild fine foreground boundaries from the original image pixels when browser memory allows.
Can I make a full passport-photo sheet?+
Yes. Set exact physical dimensions, frame the person, choose a photo background, select paper and copies, fill the sheet, then download or print it at Actual Size / 100%.
Are the passport-photo sizes guaranteed to be accepted?+
No. Document rules vary by authority. FlytheBG provides measurement and layout tools, but you should verify the official specification for the document you are applying for.
What is cleared after download?+
FlytheBG releases the working image references and generated in-page data it controls. The downloaded file and copies outside the page remain on your device.
