This photo has its own background. The File Work removes it first; then you choose the new one.
The first time, The File Work downloads its background remover once (about 40–50 MB for people, 55 MB for anything else) and keeps it in your browser. Your photo never leaves your device.
Background
Private by designProcessed in your browser: your image is never uploaded. Removing a photo’s own background downloads the background remover once (about 40–55 MB), then it’s kept on this device.
Photos with their own background
Transparent PNGs go straight to the new background. For other photos, The File Work first removes the current background on your device (choose a person, or an object or pet), then you pick the new one. Changing it again doesn’t repeat the removal.
