The whole app
One focused window. Nothing in your way.
Compare the original and transparent result with a draggable divider, then save or copy it instantly.
Built for a single job
From photo to clean cutout, without the detour.
Works the way you work
Choose a file, paste from the clipboard, or drag an image straight into RMBG.
Private by design
Apple Vision processes every image locally. RMBG has no account, analytics, or network access.
Ready for anywhere
Save a transparent PNG or copy it directly into the document, deck, or design you are making.
Three small steps
Done before your coffee gets cold.
02
Let your Mac work
RMBG identifies the foreground and creates transparency on-device.
03
Save or copy
Review the result, then export a PNG or copy it to the clipboard.
Offline means offline
Your photos never become someone else’s data.
RMBG contains no cloud processing, telemetry, advertising, or third-party data SDK. Images remain in memory only while the app needs them.
Good to know
A few quick answers.
Are my images ever uploaded?
No. Recognition and compositing happen locally with Apple Vision and Core Image. RMBG has no network entitlement.
Which Macs are supported?
RMBG requires macOS 14 or later.
What kind of image works best?
Images with a distinct subject, clear edges, and stronger foreground-to-background contrast usually produce the cleanest result.
What format does RMBG export?
Saved results use PNG and preserve transparency. Clipboard copies include PNG and TIFF data for broad Mac app compatibility.
How do I remove an image background on Mac?
Open RMBG, then choose, paste, or drop an image. The app removes the BG locally; review the split view and save or copy the transparent result.
What does RMBG mean?
RMBG is short for “remove background,” or simply “remove BG.” It is a focused offline BG remover for Mac, without the browser upload step used by online background removal tools.
Your next clean cutout is one drop away.
A quiet, focused background remover made for your Mac—and only your Mac.
