Your images stay on your device.

Image processing
The hosted app runs background removal in your browser. The local app serves the same removal workflow from 127.0.0.1 without the hosted site's navigation, documentation, changelog, or legal pages. Image inference still runs in the browser. The CLI and Node API process images in the local Node process. bgcut does not send source images, decoded pixels, masks, or generated outputs to a bgcut inference service.
Network requests
The hosted app fetches its app files, ONNX Runtime files, and selected model artifact from bgcut.dev through Cloudflare. The local app server may download the validated FP32 and Safari FP16 model artifacts from bgcut GitHub releases when its cache is missing or invalid. The CLI and Node API use the validated FP32 artifact. Cloudflare and GitHub can receive request metadata such as IP address, user agent, requested URL, and request time.
Accounts, cookies, and analytics
bgcut's application code does not create accounts, set application cookies, or send product analytics or telemetry.
Third-party services
GitHub and npm links take you to third-party sites. Cloudflare delivers bgcut.dev, and GitHub serves model downloads used by the local and native paths. Their privacy policies apply to those requests.
