Do I need an account to use BGVanish?
No. There is no signup, no login, and no credit system. Open bgvanish.com, choose an image, and download your PNG.
Is BGVanish really free? What’s the catch?
The background remover is free with no watermark and no resolution limits. Your images are processed on your own device, so there are no server costs to pass on to you.
Will my images be uploaded anywhere?
