01 / The problem
A small problem worth solving.
Simple image editing often asks people to upload private images or create an account. ClearCut makes background removal available directly in the browser.
02 / The approach
Make the useful part easier.
Run the model on the device, provide a focused editing workspace, and let the user export a full-resolution result.
Images are processed in the browser with ONNX and WebAssembly. Editing and export sit alongside background removal, so the user can finish the task in one place.
03 / Things to explore
The learning behind the product.
A useful discussion of browser performance, privacy by design, and making a complex tool feel simple.
- What should happen while the model is loading?
- How does a larger image affect memory and processing?
- How do you communicate that an image stays on the device?
