More free image tools
Same quality bar. Still free. Still no upload.
Your files never leave your device
This is not a promise about how carefully we handle your upload. There is no upload. The file you choose is read into memory by your own browser, processed there, and handed back as a download — the tool has no server component and makes no network request with your data.
- Nothing is stored. We never receive the file, so there is no copy to retain, no retention period to disclose, and nothing to delete on request.
- Nothing is transmitted. No upload endpoint, no analytics payload carrying file contents, no third-party processor.
- You can verify it. Load this page, disconnect from the internet, and use the tool. It still works, because everything it needs is already on your machine.
- Nothing persists after you close the tab. Files are held in page memory only — not in local storage, not in a cache, not in a database.
A note on wording, because it matters: we do not describe these tools as “encrypted.” Encryption protects data that travels to somebody else's computer. Your file does not travel, so there is nothing to encrypt and nothing to intercept — which is a stronger guarantee than encryption, not a weaker one. The page itself is served over HTTPS like the rest of the site.
This makes the tools safe for material you are contractually barred from uploading to third-party services — client footage under NDA, unreleased campaign assets, anything covered by a confidentiality clause.
How it works
1. Drop image or short video
PNG, JPEG, or WebP preferred. Video is accepted for a best-effort keyed re-encode.
2. Tune key, tolerance, edge, spill
Default key is studio green. Soft edge and spill suppress clean hairlines and fringe.
3. Export PNG or composite
Transparent PNG keeps alpha. Composite places the subject over a background you choose. Video needs composite.
Questions
How is this different from the Background Remover?
Background remover uses an on-device subject segmenter for ordinary photos. This chroma key tool punches out pixels close to a key colour. It is built for flat green or blue screens, not busy real-world backgrounds. Use the remover when there is no screen; use this when you shot against chroma fabric or paint.
What algorithm does it use?
RGB Euclidean distance to the key colour, with a soft edge falloff past the tolerance and a simple spill suppress that pulls the dominant key channel toward luminance on near-key pixels. It is honest studio keying, not a neural matte.
Does video export keep transparency?
Usually no. Most browser MediaRecorder paths write WebM or MP4 without a reliable alpha channel. For video, switch to Composite and pick a background. For a transparent result, export a still PNG from an image.
Why is video only best-effort?
The tool keys each frame on a canvas and re-encodes with MediaRecorder. That is a lossy re-encode capped at short lengths so the tab stays usable. It is not a frame-accurate NLE export. Prefer image PNG when quality matters.
Can I pick blue screen instead of green?
Yes. Use the key colour picker or the Blue / Chroma blue presets. Raise tolerance if the screen is unevenly lit; raise spill suppress if fringe tint remains on edges.
Do my files get uploaded anywhere?
No. This free tool runs entirely in your browser using the Canvas and File APIs. The file you choose is read into memory on your own machine, processed there, and offered back as a download. Nothing is sent to a server, which is also why it keeps working with your network off.
Is it actually free, or is there a catch?
Actually free, with no account and no limit, because it costs nothing to run. The work happens on your device rather than on our hardware. That is different from generating with an AI model on Versely, which does cost credits. There is no free tier for generation.

These rearrange files. Versely makes new ones.
Everything on this page works on a file you already have, which is why it costs nothing. Generating something that did not exist (video from a prompt, a voice, a score) runs a model, and that costs credits.
