Cutout: AI background remover runs entirely in browser, no uploads

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

Developer Jeffrey Hamilton built Cutout, an AI background remover that processes images entirely in the browser using WebAssembly and WebGPU. The tool requires no server uploads, sign-ups, or subscriptions, and supports batch processing and manual refinement. It is open-source and available at cutout-murex.vercel.app.

Meridian48 take
A practical privacy-first alternative to cloud-based tools, though its reliance on client-side AI may limit performance on older devices.
