Frequently asked questions
Can I remove text from a solid background?
Yes, and the result is usually perfect.
Can I extract the text instead?
Use Image to Text (OCR) to copy text out of an image.
Is it okay to remove watermarks?
Only on images you own or are licensed to edit.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. Files are decoded, processed and re-encoded by your browser using the canvas API and Web Workers. Nothing is sent to any server, and there is no account or storage. Closing the tab discards everything.
