Every image tool opens here in one focused workspace. PDF tools have their own separate section.
Free background remover · no signup
Drop in a photo and let AI cut out the subject in your browser. Export it transparent or on a custom color in PNG, JPG or WebP — no account, no credits, no image upload.
PDF to Word · no signup · free
Drop a PDF here and get back a Word document with text you can actually select and change — right in your browser. No upload, no signup, no account.
Your file jumps directly into the PDF to Word tool. Nothing is uploaded.
Compress images, PDFs, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and text files in your browser. The tool chooses a suitable method for the selected file type and keeps the original untouched.
Image compression: pixels are re-encoded locally and metadata is removed.
Already-compressed files may shrink only a little—or not at all. If processing makes a file larger, the original bytes are kept so the download never grows unnecessarily.
See it in action
This is what the Background Remover does to your photos — clean edges, no leftover background, ready to download with transparency.
Demo animation — your own photos are processed privately in your browser.

Every tool on BGone
Convert an image to PNG, JPG or WebP without sending it away. Transparent areas are preserved in PNG and WebP; JPG uses a white background.
EXIF and location metadata are removed from the exported file.
Resize by exact pixel dimensions or scale the image by percentage. Keep the aspect ratio locked to avoid stretched photos.
Crop to exact coordinates, rotate in 90-degree steps, and mirror an image horizontally or vertically.
Add a readable text watermark with control over position, color, size and opacity. Preview it before export.
Apply one compression, conversion or resize setting to as many images as you like. Each result gets its own instant download link, plus one ZIP for the whole batch.
Complete PDF toolkit
Choose a task below. Each tool has its own focused view, file rules and download result. Processing happens in your browser; selected files are not uploaded to BGone.
Choose a PDF tool above to begin.
Your files remain in this browser tab and are cleared on refresh.
Drag on the page to draw black boxes over names, numbers, photos or any sensitive text. Boxes are burned into a flattened copy — hidden content cannot be recovered.

Who runs BGone
BGone is a free collection of browser-based image and file tools. Everything runs on your device — no signup, no uploads, no watermarks.
BGone brings 26 free tools together in one place: background removal, image compression, format conversion, resizing, watermarking, bulk editing, and a full PDF toolkit — from PDF to Word conversion to merging, splitting and redaction.
Every tool processes your files locally in your browser. Your photos and documents are never uploaded to our servers, which keeps them private and keeps the tools free to run.
Most online tools ask for an account before they do anything, stamp watermarks on free downloads, or send your files to a server you cannot see. BGone was built as the opposite: open a tool, do the job, download the result — no strings attached.
BGone is built and maintained by Muhammad Zubair, an independent maker who wanted genuinely free file tools without the usual catches. New tools and guides are added regularly based on what users ask for.
Questions, ideas or bug reports can be prepared through the Help & Contact page.
Your files stay yours
This policy explains what BGone handles when you use its free browser-based image and file tools. The short version: there is no account, and your files are processed on your device rather than uploaded to BGone.
Images, PDFs, Office documents and other supported files are processed locally by code running in your browser. BGone does not send those files to its servers, store copies of them, or use their contents to train models.
Your working files and results remain available only in the current browser tab. They are cleared when you refresh or close the page unless you choose to download a result to your device.
BGone does not require signup and does not provide user accounts. The site does not ask for your name, password, payment details or profile information to use the tools.
Text entered in the Help & Contact page is used only to build a support message for you to copy. It is not sent or saved by the site.
Like most websites, the hosting provider may receive standard request information needed to deliver the page, such as an IP address, browser type, requested page and time of access. BGone does not receive your selected files through those requests.
The page requests its typefaces from Google Fonts, so your browser may connect to Google when the site loads. BGone itself does not set cookies and does not include advertising or analytics trackers.
Questions about this policy can be prepared through the Help & Contact page.
