Terms of use

By using BackgroundOut you agree to these terms. They are written to be read. If you do not agree, please do not use the service.

The service

BackgroundOut is a free tool that removes the background from images, running in your browser. We may change it, limit it or stop it at any time, for example if the cost of running it becomes too high or a technical or legal reason requires it.

Your images and results

• Your images stay yours, and so do the results. We claim no rights over them.
• You are responsible for having the right to use the images you process, for example the permission of the photographer, of the people shown and of anyone who owns the content.
• Because processing happens on your device, we cannot see, recover or restore your images.

Acceptable use

You must not use the service to:

• process or create illegal content, or content that sexually exploits or endangers children;
• make fake or altered identity documents, or to impersonate a person or deceive others in a way that causes harm;
• infringe other people’s copyright, privacy or other rights;
• attack, overload, scrape at scale or try to break the website or its supporting services, or work around technical limits.

We may block access that breaks these rules.

No warranty

The service is provided “as is” and “as available”. Automatic background removal is not perfect: results can contain mistakes, and some images (for example glass, fine hair on busy backgrounds, logos and flat graphics) work less well. Check every result before you rely on it. We do not promise that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free or suitable for your particular purpose.

Limit of liability

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, lost profits, or lost data arising from your use of the free service. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, and your rights as a consumer under mandatory law stay unaffected.

Open-source software

The service uses open-source software and an open-source AI model, each under its own licence. See the About page for credits and licence texts.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the current version; continuing to use the service after a change means you accept it.
