## Description

Background Remover is a focused Firefox add-on for removing image backgrounds from JPG, PNG, and WebP files.

Choose an image, remove the background, compare the before and after result, then download a PNG. You can keep the background transparent or preview the result on white, black, or green before saving.

The add-on runs from a dedicated extension page, so the image picker stays stable while you work. It does not read pages you visit, does not inject scripts into websites, does not require an account, and does not use analytics or advertising trackers.

Background-removal model assets are packaged with the add-on. Your selected image is processed locally in the browser for the purpose of creating the downloadable result.
