Nothing is uploaded

An image editor that works offline

Because the tools run on your device, they keep working with no connection. Install ClearBG once and edit images offline — privately, with nothing uploaded.

ClearBG is a browser-based toolkit that does all of its work locally, so it doesn't need a live connection to function. Install it as an app (it's a PWA) and the interface is cached on your device — you can then compress, convert, resize, crop or redact images with the internet switched off entirely.

It's genuinely useful on a plane, on patchy hotel Wi-Fi, or any time you'd rather not send a photo over the network. Everything happens on-device, which is also why it stays private: no connection means there's nowhere for your images to go.

Why it stays private

Works with no connection

Once loaded, the tools run entirely on your device — no live server call to compress, convert, resize or crop.

Installable app

Add ClearBG to your home screen or desktop and it opens in its own window, cached for offline use.

Private, always

Offline by nature means private by nature — your images never leave the device they're on.

Tools that run on your device

All free, all private — nothing here uploads your images.

Frequently asked questions

How do I use it offline?
Open ClearBG once online, then install it from your browser's menu ("Install app" / "Add to Home Screen"). The app shell is cached, so it opens and runs the client-side tools even with no connection.
Do all the tools work offline?
The canvas-based tools — compress, convert, resize, crop, EXIF removal and more — work fully offline once loaded. Background removal needs its AI model downloaded once; after that first download it works offline too.
Is anything uploaded when I'm back online?
No. Nothing is queued to upload and nothing syncs to a server, online or off. The images only ever exist on your device.
Is it really free?
Yes — free and unlimited, no account and no watermark, online or offline.
