What NextG Design offers
NextG Design builds small, focused web tools for everyday photo editing tasks that normally mean installing software, creating an account, or uploading your pictures to a stranger's server. Both of our current tools work the opposite way: the entire tool — the AI model, the image-processing code, the file you're editing — runs inside the tab you're looking at right now, using your own device's processing power.
The Background Remover uses an on-device AI segmentation model to cut a subject out of a photo and export it as a transparent PNG, with manual erase/restore brushes for touching up anything the AI gets wrong. The Image Upscaler increases a photo's resolution by up to 400%, using edge-aware noise reduction and sharpening to make old, small, or blurry photos look clearer — without needing an AI model download at all.

How it works
1
Choose a tool
Pick Background Remover or Image Upscaler depending on what you need.
2
Drop in a photo
Drag and drop, or choose a file. It loads straight into your browser's own memory — never a server.
3
Adjust and preview
Fine-tune with brushes, presets, or sliders, and see the exact result before you commit.
4
Download
Save the finished PNG. Nothing is kept anywhere — refresh the page and it's gone, exactly as it should be.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to create an account?
No. Neither tool has a sign-up flow, a login, or a paywall. Open the page and start editing.
Are my photos uploaded anywhere?
No. Both tools process images entirely client-side, in your browser, using the Canvas API and (for background removal) a WebAssembly AI model. See our Privacy Policy for the full technical explanation, including the one exception: the Background Remover downloads its AI model file from a CDN on first use — that download never includes your photo.
Is there a limit on image size or how many I can process?
There's no artificial limit or quota — since processing happens on your own device, the only real constraint is your device's own memory and processing power. Very large images (well above typical photo resolution) may be slower or capped during export to keep the browser tab responsive.
Can I use the results commercially?
The images you process are entirely yours — we never receive them, so we have no claim over them at all. See our General Terms and Conditions for the full terms of using the tools themselves.
