Every background remover I tried wanted the photo uploaded first. Mattely does the same job without it: the model runs on your own Windows PC and the app makes no network requests at all. Pull the ethernet cable out and it works exactly the same. Transparent PNG or any background colour, an edge control to tighten or soften the cut, and bulk processing over a whole folder. No watermark, no ads, no locked pro model, no subscription. One purchase, $4.99, everything included.
Hi Product Hunt 👋
I kept running into the same thing: every background remover I tried wanted me to upload the photo first. That is fine for a meme, but not for a client's product shots or someone's ID photo. So I built Mattely to do the same job without the upload.
The model runs on your own machine. Mattely makes no network requests at all — not for analytics, not for updates, not for "processing". You can pull the ethernet cable out and it works exactly the same.
What it does: transparent PNG or any background colour you like, an edge control to tighten or soften the cut, and bulk processing over a whole folder. What it does not do: watermarks, ads, locked features, or a second payment for the "pro" model. One purchase, $4.99, everything in it.
What it is not: a full photo editor. It removes backgrounds and gets out of the way.
It is on the Microsoft Store for Windows 10 and 11. I would genuinely like to hear where the cutout falls apart for you — hair and fur are the hard cases and that is where I want to keep working.
