12-Hour Session Quota Active

AI-Powered Precision Cutout Remove Background Instantly on Erase.run

Q: How does the rolling 12-hour session quota work?

Guest users receive 10 free image cutouts every 12 hours. Creating or signing into a free account unlocks 25 images per 12 hours. The countdown begins with your first cutout and your allowance fully resets after 12 hours.

Q: What is the difference between HD Cut and Max Cut?

HD Cut is a web-optimized file with the longest side up to 1600px. Max Cut rebuilds the cutout on your original photo's pixels for your full upload resolution, up to about 16 megapixels.

Q: Can I add custom backdrops and solid backgrounds directly?

Yes. You can keep a transparent background, choose a solid color, use a color picker, or upload your own photo as a backdrop with optional blur, then export as PNG, JPG or WebP.

Q: Are my uploaded images permanently stored on your servers?

No. Photos are processed in temporary memory and discarded once the cutout is returned. Backdrops, touch-ups and exports happen locally in your browser.

Q: Is Erase.run completely free for commercial and personal use?

Yes. Erase.run is free within the 12-hour allowance, and you keep full ownership of your cutouts for commercial and personal use.

High-precision edge detection for portraits, fashion, e-commerce, and objects with zero halo residue.
