remove.bg shuts down Dec 1 — I built a free, no-signup alternative that runs 100% in the browser

Description and use

BGone is a free, no‑signup, client‑side background removal tool that replaces the soon‑to‑close remove.bg, offering full‑resolution PNGs and a privacy‑first model.

Problem

remove.bg will close its standalone site on December 1, 2026, leaving users without a free, quick background removal tool.

Outcome

BGone delivers a privacy‑preserving, zero‑cost alternative to remove.bg, enabling users to remove backgrounds entirely in the browser.

Workflow

• Upload image to BGone.tools
• WebAssembly model runs locally to remove background
• Download full‑resolution transparent PNG
• Optional: use 24 other free PDF/image tools on the same site

Evidence

BGone — https://bgone.tools

Free background removal, no signup, no credits, no watermark

Runs entirely client‑side (WebAssembly) — images never touch a server, which also means zero server costs for me

Plus 24 other free PDF/image tools on the same site, same privacy model
