Question 1

Does this upload my photo anywhere?

Accepted Answer

No — background removal runs entirely in your browser using an on-device ML model. Your image never leaves your device.

Question 2

Why did it take a few seconds to load the first time?

Accepted Answer

The first use downloads a small ML model to your browser so processing can run locally. It's cached after that, so it's instant on repeat use.
