What does VisualEraser do?

VisualEraser removes a background colour from an image using chroma keying — the same principle as a green-screen removal, but working from any solid or near-solid colour you click on. Upload an image, click the colour you want removed, and adjust tolerance (how close a pixel's colour needs to be to count as background) and edge softness (how gradually the transparency fades at the boundary) until the cutout looks clean.

Worth being clear on what this is and isn't: this is colour-based chroma keying, not AI subject segmentation. It works best on flat, solid, or green-screen-style backgrounds — product photos on a plain backdrop, logos on a solid colour, that kind of thing. It won't reliably isolate a subject from a busy or textured background the way an AI-based background remover would, since it has no concept of "subject" — only colour distance from the pixel you picked.

Zoom in (mouse wheel or the zoom slider) to pick a precise colour and check edges closely before exporting. Everything runs locally in your browser — images are never uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

Is VisualEraser free to use?

Yes, completely free with no account or usage limit.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. All processing happens locally in your browser using the Canvas API — images never leave your device.

Does this use AI to detect the subject?

No — it's colour-based chroma keying. You click a background colour, and pixels close to that colour (within your chosen tolerance) become transparent. It works best on solid or near-solid backgrounds rather than complex, textured scenes.

What do Tolerance and Edge Softness control?

Tolerance sets how close a pixel's colour needs to be to your picked colour to be removed entirely — higher values remove a wider colour range. Edge Softness adds a gradual transparency fade just beyond the tolerance threshold, which helps avoid harsh, jagged cutout edges.

Can I zoom in for more precision?

Yes — use the zoom slider, the Reset Zoom button, or your mouse wheel over the image to zoom from 20% up to 500% for precise colour picking and edge inspection.
