Frequently asked questions

Is Poofiy really a free background remover?

Yes. Poofiy is a free online background remover: you can remove the background from an image as many times as you like, with no account, no watermark and no daily limit. The AI background remover cuts out the subject automatically and makes the background transparent, so you get a PNG ready to use in designs, product photos or profile pictures.

When should I use Manual mode?

When you want more control over exactly where the cut happens, or a cleaner result with no traces of the removed background. Use "Color points" on flat, single-color backgrounds, or "Select object" to trace the edge by hand — perfect for complex backgrounds with texture, patterns, or colors close to the subject's own. This mode doesn't download an AI model.

Are my photos stored anywhere?

No. The image is processed inside your browser and disappears when you close the page. Only the AI model is downloaded from the internet.

Why does the first use take longer?

The first time, the browser downloads the AI model (a few tens of MB). After that it stays cached and the next cutouts are much faster.

What's the best kind of photo?

Sharp photos with good lighting and a subject clearly separated from the background give the best result. Fine hair and transparent objects may need a manual touch-up afterward.

How do I check the cutout details?

Tap Zoom in. In the viewer you can pinch-zoom or use the mouse wheel, drag the image, and switch the preview background between checkered, white and black.
