Remove BG lifts the subject out of a picture and puts it on transparency. Runs entirely on your Mac using Apple Vision — no upload, no API key, no network needed.

​
Open it

Press ⌃ ⌥ D from any app.

​
How it works

1

Choose a source

Pick Select an Area to drag a box on screen, or Choose a File to open a picture from disk. The choice is asked fresh each press.
2

See the cutout

The subject appears on transparency in a full-screen viewer. Scroll to zoom, drag to pan, double-click for 1:1.
3

Use it

The transparent PNG is already on your clipboard. It’s also saved to the Desktop and optionally uploaded for a shareable link.

​
What you get

  • Clipboard: a transparent PNG, always.
  • Desktop: saved as Cutout.png (auto-numbered if one already exists). Turn this off in Settings.
  • Link: uploaded for a shareable URL. Turn this off in Settings.
A toast appears with chips to switch between copying the image, copying the link, or revealing the file in Finder.

​
Settings

Settings → Tools → Remove BG:
  • Also save the cutout to the Desktop — on by default.
  • Also upload the cutout for a link — on by default. This is the one part of the tool that leaves your Mac.

​
Privacy

Everything runs on-device using macOS Vision. No image data ever leaves your Mac unless you enable the upload-for-link option.
