Feature · Vision

Lift a subject. Remove a background. On your Mac.

Removing a background used to mean opening Photoshop, paying for remove.bg, or carefully tracing with the lasso tool. Apple’s Vision framework includes an on-device subject-isolation model, and Pizazoo wires it into the markup editor.

TL;DR: Pizazoo uses Apple’s on-device Vision framework to remove the background from a screenshot or lift a specific subject in one click, with no Photoshop, no upload, and a transparent PNG export. Works on photos pasted into your screenshot library as well.

Common questions

FAQ

How accurate is background removal?

It uses the same Apple Vision model that powers iOS subject-lift. Quality is excellent on people, products, and clear-edged objects; weaker on fine hair or glass. Free to try, so see for yourself.

Is anything uploaded?

No. Background removal runs locally via Apple’s on-device Vision framework. No image leaves your Mac.

Does it work on Intel Macs?

Yes. Since version 1.0.12, Pizazoo for Mac is a universal app for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs running macOS 14 Sonoma or later. Background removal runs on your Mac with Apple’s Vision framework.

Can I export the result with a transparent background?

Yes. Export as PNG to keep transparency, or add a solid or gradient backdrop with the Background frame tool.

Is it free?

Yes. Background removal and subject lift are part of the free tier.
