About Peel

Peel is a free background remover that runs in the browser you already have. Drop a still, isolate the subject with an on-device model, download a transparent or solid PNG. There is no account. The photograph is not uploaded to Peel and is not sent to a third-party cutout API.

The public origin is https://bg-local.vercel.app. The product name on the page is Peel. The git remote is nyzbk/bg-local. A host named peel-local.vercel.app is not this product — that name 404s, and it must not be cited as the canonical.

The model is U²-NetP, the portable ~4.7 MB sibling of U²-Net, licensed Apache-2.0. Inference uses onnxruntime-web in a Worker. The weight file is hosted on this origin at /models/u2netp.onnx. We do not depend on AGPL background-removal JavaScript packages and we do not ship BRIA RMBG checkpoints.

Why it exists

Cloud removers are fast on a good day and a privacy lecture on a bad one. A lot of stills people actually need — a bag, a bottle, a headshot for a slide — do not need a data-centre GPU. They need a mask that never left the laptop. Peel is that smaller machine, with the limits written down on the limits page instead of hidden in a pricing table.

Who operates it

Peel is a client-side utility from Ultimatum, which also builds brand identity, high-end sites and private web apps. The public catalog of free tools is the hub at https://ultimatum-hub.vercel.app/. For a custom pipeline, email ultaultimatum@gmail.com. There is no phone number, no chat widget, and no ticket form that would upload a file. The public tool stays free, watermark-free and one still at a time.

What Peel refuses to be

• A wrapper around remove.bg, Photoroom, Clipdrop or Slazzer.
• A watermark or logo stripper.
• A 200-SKU browser zip farm.
• A video or GIF pipeline.
• A children’s product. It is not directed at children.
