How to remove a background from an image or video with NSS Background Remover

Go to bgremover.novusstreamsolutions.com. From the home screen you can pick the surface that matches your file: images, video, GIF, PDF, live webcam, or screen capture. For a still image, start on the image tool; for a clip, open the video editor.

The first time the page loads it fetches the AI model into your browser cache (roughly 80 MB for the Fast model). That happens once — after it is cached the tool works offline, and nothing about your files leaves the device.

Drag and drop your image or video onto the drop zone, or click to browse. The file is read locally — you will see it appear in the workspace without any upload progress bar, because there is no upload.

For batch work, the image tool can take several photos at once and hand you back a ZIP of the finished cutouts. It processes them one at a time to stay within the browser’s memory, so a large batch runs sequentially rather than all at once.

Choose the model that fits your subject. Fast (RMBG-1.4) is a lightweight model that is excellent for product images, portraits, and subjects with clean edges. Best Quality (RMBG-2.0, a bilateral reference network) is built for fine detail — hair, fur, transparent objects, and complicated boundaries. There is also a Glass mode for tricky reflective and transparent material.

Processing happens on-device. The model produces a high-precision mask where every pixel keeps a smooth opacity value between fully opaque and fully transparent, then an automatic edge-decontamination pass removes color spill from the old background so your edges stay clean.

On a video, the same removal is applied per frame, so the subject is isolated across the whole clip rather than just one still.

If the cutout looks right, you can finish without leaving the tool. Use the brush, wand, and selection tools to paint back any detail the AI missed or erase a stray edge, then export. Exports are written as true straight-alpha files, so transparent PNGs open cleanly in Photoshop, Figma, and print software with no dark halo around the subject.

Choose your output format and download. This path is the fastest route for clean single subjects — many product shots need no manual cleanup at all.

When the cutout is just one piece of a bigger image, send it into the full image editor. There you get multi-file layers with blend modes, 22 filters, ready-made lifestyle scenes to drop your subject into, a 3D preview with depth relief, and an AI assistant — plus the AI tool suite (generate a new background, inpaint, restore, colorize, upscale 2×/4×, and more).

For clips, the video editor adds per-frame background removal, color-grading sliders, filters, text overlays, and timeline trimming with fades, all in layers. When you are done you can export to MP4 or WebM, or save the whole project as a .nss-project file to pick back up later.
