LocalBG

LocalBG is a fully offline background remover for images, videos, and GIFs. It runs on your own machine, producing clean alpha cutouts and optional custom backdrops without sending your files to the cloud.

Designed for high-volume creative workflows, LocalBG supports bulk processing and a point-and-click GUI for common tasks like product and dealership vehicle cutouts. You can also compare the same subject with its original scene, a true alpha cutout, and a quick solid-color backdrop.

If you want automation, LocalBG includes an optional CLI and supports self-hosting/private API-style usage so you can integrate background removal into your own server workflow—without per-image fees or uploading content. Free unlimited single processing is available, with Pro extending to unlimited bulk, video, and GIF workflows.

Does LocalBG work without an internet connection?

Yes—background removal runs locally on your device, so it works offline. The only connection needs are for license activation/renewal and optional update checks.

Will LocalBG upload or store my photos?

No. There’s no upload step for processing, and your images aren’t sent to a generative model. Processing uses your own CPU or GPU so files stay on your machine.

Is there a limit on how many images I can process?

Free processing is unlimited for single images, without per-image fees, watermarks, or an account requirement. Pro removes the single-image limit and supports unlimited bulk, video, and GIF processing.

Can LocalBG remove backgrounds from videos and export with real transparency?

Yes. On Pro, it removes backgrounds frame-by-frame for supported video formats and exports ProRes 4444 with a real alpha channel. A green-screen MP4 export option is also available.

Does LocalBG generate new images or invent backgrounds?

No. It uses a segmentation model to find the subject and remove the background rather than generating new content.

What platforms and file formats are supported?

Free and Pro run on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Images import JPG, JPEG, PNG, WEBP, and GIF; Pro video background removal supports MP4, MOV, AVI, WebM, and MKV, with exports as PNG/WEBP for images and ProRes 4444 or MP4 for video.
