In their own words
EraseBG
EraseBG removes image backgrounds in a browser on the user’s device, with no usage limits listed for its free plan. It accepts JPG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC images, including batches, and provides erase and restore brushes, undo and redo, background choices, and before-and-after comparison. Optional 2× and 4× upscaling runs on the device. Exports are full-resolution PNG, WebP, or JPG, and batches can be downloaded as a ZIP. Processing uses the device’s GPU or CPU; the browser uses GPU processing automatically when WebGPU is supported. The maker says images remain in tab memory and are not collected, stored, or transmitted. The model can be cached for later offline visits. The source is MIT licensed and can be copied to a web server for self-hosting. It is available on web, iOS, Android, and as self-hosted software. Safari exports above about 16 megapixels are scaled to that limit, and iOS may reduce large photos during processing before full-resolution export. There is no API.
Zawa AI Background Remover (formerly X-Design)
Zawa AI Background Remover, formerly X-Design, is a browser-based image tool for removing backgrounds, editing images and exporting results. It can process up to 30 images in one batch and provides controls for refining edges and corners, including details such as hair, fur, fabric edges and shadows. After removal, users can choose a solid-color background or generate one from a text prompt, then add text or graphics, resize and crop. The tool is presented for products, portraits, pets, logos and signatures, real estate, marketing and personal use. It works in a mobile browser on iOS and Android without requiring an app. PNG is the listed export format, and commercial use is permitted. The Free plan costs nothing and includes 60 daily credits, up to 20 image generations daily and limited background removal. Plus, Pro and Max list monthly credits and image-generation allowances; Enterprise offers a custom API solution, dedicated capacity and private models. Paid-plan limits reset monthly, and credits freeze after cancellation until resubscription.
