A background remover that minds its business
Your photos are not our data.
The app does not need an account or a photo-processing backend. Editing happens with Apple frameworks on your iPhone or iPad, including the original-resolution render created for export.
- No photo uploads
- No app analytics
- No advertising SDK
- No account required
Made for both screens
Room to work on iPad.
The same focused, single-column editor expands naturally on iPad. Controls stay familiar while the preview gets the space it deserves.

Questions, answered
Before you download.
Are my photos uploaded anywhere?
No. The app processes selected photos on your iPhone or iPad. It has no account system or photo-processing backend.
Does it work on pets and objects?
Yes. Apple’s foreground-instance segmentation can detect people, animals, and objects. Results vary with lighting, contrast, occlusion, and edge complexity, so Restore and Erase are available when needed.
Can I keep two people or subjects?
Yes, when the system identifies separable foreground instances. The Subjects panel lets you keep one, several, or all of them.
Does transparent export keep the original resolution?
Yes. The editor uses a smaller preview for responsiveness, then renders from the original image and mask when you export. Transparent results use PNG.
What does it cost?
The planned US options are $2.99 weekly, $9.99 yearly, or $14.99 lifetime. App Store prices and availability can vary by storefront.
