LocalPixA simple ecommerce still — one object, decent light, not a lifestyle scene — is the case Remove background is for. The model is ormbg (Apache-2.0), on device, WebGPU when the browser has an adapter and CPU/WASM otherwise. Output is a transparent PNG. RMBG is not used. See when WASM runs if the cutout is slow.
A short workflow
- Shoot or export a still as JPEG, PNG, or WebP. HEIC from a phone: HEIC to JPG first.
- Open Remove background. Optional: self-prove 0-byte upload or follow Verify local. Weights download only after you run (~42 MB, then cached).
- Download
nobg.png. Zoom the edges: straps, glass, and hair are where ormbg most often leaves a fringe. Reshoot or crop rather than stacking another online cutout on top. - Keep the PNG for a storefront that accepts transparency. If the marketplace wants pure white, composite locally — the tool does not add a white plate for you.
- Need the file under a portal cap after it is flattened? Compress to KB. That step makes a JPEG and drops alpha.
What this is not
- Not a batch editor and not a colour-managed studio pipeline.
- Not an ID-photo layout. Portraits for forms: ID and passport photo background.
- Large sources are resized toward 1024×1024 for the model. Fine jewellery text can soften. Start from a tighter crop of the object.
FAQ
Does the product photo leave the device?
No. Inference stays in the tab. Network may show the ormbg download after you run; it should not show your image posted to LocalPix. Verify local.
Which model?
ormbg only (Apache-2.0). RMBG, BiRefNet, and BEN2 are not offered. Licenses.
The listing turned the background white.
You exported or recompressed to JPEG. Transparency only survives in the PNG you downloaded.
