What is the Foreground Remover?
This is the mirror image of a background remover: instead of keeping the subject and dropping the background, it detects and removes the main foreground subject and keeps everything behind it — useful when you want a clean empty-scene shot or need to isolate just the background layer for editing.
Like the background remover, it works entirely in-browser with a canvas-based workflow, a recent-images history strip, and an option to fill the removed area with a solid colour instead of leaving it transparent.

Questions people ask
Is the foreground remover free?
Yes, free with no signup and no watermark.
How is this different from a background remover?
A background remover keeps the subject and removes what's behind it; this tool does the opposite — it removes the subject and keeps the scene.
Do I get a transparent result?
Yes by default, or you can fill the removed area with a solid colour instead.
Is my image uploaded anywhere?
Processing happens in your browser session; images aren't stored beyond the local history strip.
What image formats are supported?
Common image formats — check the supported-formats section on the page for the current list.
