Steps
- Open the site while connected and press Prepare for offline use.
- Wait for the ready message after the package of about 38 MB finishes downloading.
- Disconnect and test image selection, removal and export before relying on offline use.
What is stored on the device?
The cache contains interface files, models and fonts needed by the tool. Selected images remain in the editing session memory, and the browser saves exported files to your device on request. Advertising and visit measurement use separate online services.
Verify offline processing with a fresh photo
- After the ready message, disconnect and open the editor in a new tab of the same browser.
- Choose a fresh photo, run the cutout and open the downloaded PNG from your files. A new download verifies the complete workflow.
- If this fails, reconnect, open a regular tab and prepare the files again. Clearing site data or browser storage eviction can remove cached files.
Use the on-device mode while offline. The optional Ultra AI mode needs an internet connection and your permission to send the selected image.
When might setup need repeating?
Clearing site data, using private browsing or browser storage cleanup can remove cached files. Check readiness after a long gap or when changing browsers or devices.
What helps on a limited device?
Close heavy tabs and begin with a medium-sized photograph. Large images, zoom and editing history require additional memory. Exporting the resulting PNG is the way to keep the image beyond the browser session.
Frequently asked questions
Do ads work offline?
Advertising services need a network connection. The prepared image tool can still remove backgrounds and export its result.
Must I install the site on my home screen?
You can use the browser directly. A shortcut can make access easier, while readiness depends on the cached files being complete.
Test a new image without the connection
Disconnect after the ready message, then open a new tab and use a file that the editor has not seen before. Open the downloaded PNG to check processing as well as export. Reconnect to prepare again if only the page opens.
