Thryve BG Remove strips the background from a product photo, headshot, or thumbnail using a local AI model that runs entirely in your browser. Touch up the cutout with an erase and restore brush, then drop it onto a transparent background, a solid color, a gradient, a custom image, or a blurred version of the original. Your photo is never uploaded, not even to generate the cutout.

How Thryve BG Remove works

  1. 1

    Drop a photo or a batch

    Works with any PNG, JPG, or WebP image up to 200 MB. Drop several files at once to remove backgrounds from a whole batch in one pass.

  2. 2

    Let the model find the subject

    A local segmentation model downloads once, then runs on your device to cut the subject out automatically as soon as the photo loads.

  3. 3

    Touch up and choose a background

    Use the erase and restore brush to fix any missed edges, soften the cutout edge, and pick a transparent, solid, gradient, custom image, or blurred background.

  4. 4

    Export the finished image

    The composition renders on a canvas on your device and downloads as a PNG, JPG, or WebP, ready for a listing, a profile, or a design.

Why teams choose Thryve BG Remove

Your photo stays on your device

Erase stray pixels the model missed or restore parts it removed by mistake, with an adjustable brush size and edge softness.

Five ways to replace the background

Transparent for layering elsewhere, a solid color, a curated gradient, your own uploaded image, or a blurred version of the original photo.

Frequently asked questions

Does Thryve BG Remove upload my photo?

No. The segmentation model runs locally in your browser and every edit and export happens on a canvas on your device. Your photo is never sent to a server.

What if the automatic cutout misses something?

Turn on the refine brush and use erase to remove stray background pixels or restore to bring back parts of the subject the model cut away, then adjust edge softness for a cleaner blend.

What background options do I have?

Transparent for layering into another design, a solid color, a curated gradient, your own uploaded image, or a blurred version of the original background.

Can I remove backgrounds from more than one photo at once?

Yes. Drop multiple images and BG Remove processes each one with the shared background settings, then downloads them together as a zip.

Is Thryve BG Remove free to use?

You get 10 exports a month at no cost. A one-time purchase removes the limit entirely.
