ID photo background swap / maker
An ID photo swap cuts the person out of the original background, replaces it with a required solid color (white/blue/red) and crops to a standard size. image cat does the AI cutout and background swap in your browser, with built-in white/blue/red colors and common ID sizes, in one click — all inference is local and photos are never uploaded.
Works best on people/subjects. Fine edges (hair, translucency) may have minor artifacts.
