What You Can Do

  • Get clean cutouts with edge smoothing and fine-detail preservation.
  • Swap backgrounds using uploads, curated presets, or AI-generated scenes.
  • Preview results before spending credits or exporting HD renders.
  • Rely on provider fallbacks to keep production moving.

How It Works

  1. 1. Upload an image with a clear subject.
  2. 2. Choose subject type, quality, and optional replacement method.
  3. 3. Run the AI cutout: uploads, presets, or prompts drive the new scene.
  4. 4. Download a transparent cutout or the full composite in HD.

Background Remover FAQs

Which AI providers can I use for background removal?

The tool is bring-your-own-key (BYOK). Any provider with background removal capability, such as Gemini, OpenAI, and Clipdrop, appears in the provider list once you add its API key. Your selection stays locked for the whole job, and if Gemini reports its image-edit model is not enabled, the inline card explains how to enable it or switch to the optional Clipdrop fallback.

Do I need to buy credits to use this tool?

No. Processing runs on your own provider API key, so usage follows the plan you already have with that provider. A one-time watermarked preview per email lets you judge cutout quality before connecting a key, and deployments with admin mode enabled get unlimited access without any key.

What kind of images work best, and what is the size limit?

Upload JPG, PNG, or WebP files up to 4.5 MB. Results are strongest with people, products, and animals on a clear subject; you can help the model by picking a subject type (person, object/product, animal, or auto-detect), a quality level (fast, balanced, or high), and options like edge smoothing, feathered edges, and fine-detail preservation for hair and fur.

When I replace the background, which source wins?

Priority is explicit: a custom uploaded background overrides everything, an AI prompt comes next and is generated with your active provider key, and the instant presets (Neutral studio glow, Modern loft office, Sunlit beach horizon, Home library nook, Aurora gradient glow) apply only when neither an upload nor a prompt is provided.

Where are my API key and images stored?

Your provider key is kept in browser sessionStorage under a kit_apikey_ prefix and disappears when you close the tab. Images are relayed to the AI provider you selected for processing, and nothing is retained on this site after the request finishes.
