Common questions
For a one-time background removal, BgSub is faster and more private because it runs locally. But BeFunky gives you more control (manual refine brush) and is part of a larger editing workflow.
BeFunky claims to have a mobile app, but the facts say it does not have mobile support. BgSub has no mobile app at all. Both work in a mobile browser, but the experience will be limited.
Both have free options. BeFunky's free tier is limited (watermarks, fewer features). BgSub's basic background removal is free, but high-resolution exports require a paid plan that isn't clearly priced.
BgSub does not require an account for basic use. BeFunky requires a free sign-up (email or Google/Facebook) to access its features.
BeFunky has a dedicated batch processing mode for resizing, enhancing, and editing multiple photos at once. BgSub does not offer batch processing.
BgSub processes everything on your device, so your images never leave your computer — very safe. BeFunky uploads your images to its servers for processing, which is standard but less private.
BeFunky is the versatile all-in-one choice for everyday photo editing and design; BgSub is the privacy-focused specialist for background removal only.
If you want one tool that can edit photos, make collages, design graphics, and batch-process images, go with BeFunky. If you only need to remove backgrounds quickly and privately without signing up for anything, BgSub is your best bet. For most everyday users, BeFunky offers way more value.
