Koutuxia

Background removal that runs in your browser

Visit

Koutuxia removes the background from a photo and hands you a transparent PNG. The free path runs BiRefNet-lite in the browser: a 47 MB int8 model downloaded once from a CDN and cached, then executed through WebGPU where the device supports it and WASM SIMD where it does not, at a smaller input resolution on weaker hardware. A paid path sends the image to a cloud model instead, for finer edges, higher resolution and batch jobs. Around the cutout you also get a one-click background colour swap for red, blue and white, a photo restoration mode, and direct export to transparent PNG. The browser-side tools are free and need no signup, and the site works from mainland China without a proxy.

Comments

The default for background removal is to upload your photo to someone else's server. The free path here does not: BiRefNet-lite runs in the browser through WebGPU, or WASM SIMD when the device has no WebGPU, so the image stays on the machine. The 47 MB model downloads once and is cached. There is a cloud path for finer edges and batch work, but the browser-side tools stay free and need no signup. Curious which images break the local model for you.
