Frequently asked
Is my photo actually private?
Yes. Background removal, object erase, shadows, filters, layers, and upscaling all run entirely in your browser using on-device processing. Your image is never uploaded to a server.
Is Strip free to use?
Yes — Strip is free, with no account or sign-up required. Open a photo and start editing straight away.
What can Strip do?
Remove or replace backgrounds automatically with an on-device AI model, erase unwanted objects from a photo, add realistic drop or ground shadows, crop to common social-media sizes, apply one-click filters, add text/image/shape layers, and upscale images up to 4×.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Strip runs as a website in any modern browser — Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari — on desktop or mobile. There's nothing to download or set up.
Automatic
Detects the main subject with an on-device AI model and cuts it out — no clicking required. First run downloads the model (~40 MB, cached after that).
Sample background
Click Pick, then click a background pixel on the image.

Keep only this object
Click the subject to select it (add more clicks to grow the selection), then keep only what you selected and drop everything else — useful when auto-detect grabs more than you wanted.
28
Touch-up brush
28
Paint on the image to fix edges after removal — Erase removes pixels, Restore brings the original back.
Select the object
28
Click the object once. It selects the region under your cursor automatically — click again to add more.
36
Paint freehand over the object. Use this when auto-select can't isolate it cleanly.
Fill quality is best on simple or textured backgrounds (sky, walls, grass, fabric). Very detailed backgrounds may look softened where the object was.
Shadow type
Works best on a subject with a transparent background — remove the background first, then shadow it here.

Layers
Nothing added yet. Add text, an image, or a shape below — each one becomes a layer you can drag, resize and reorder before flattening.
Click on the image to place it, then Add. Once added, drag it around or pull the corner handles to resize — it stays editable until you flatten it.

PNG keeps full transparency — best if you removed the background.

JPG doesn't support transparency — pick a colour to fill in behind a cut-out subject.

Processing…
Background removal, resizing and export happen entirely in your browser, one file at a time. Larger batches take longer — keep this tab open while it runs.
Filter presets
One-click looks. Set the intensity first if you want a lighter touch — undo if you change your mind.

Duotone shadows

Automatic
Stretches the image's own tonal range, lifts colour, and adds a touch of clarity in one click.
Upscale
Enlarges the image using high-quality resampling, then re-sharpens it so detail doesn't look soft.

Brightness, contrast and saturation preview live. Sharpen bakes in when you hit Apply — it needs a full-resolution pass. Switching tools or downloading applies any pending changes automatically. Upscaling starts a fresh undo history at the new size.
