Frequently asked questions
What types of images work best?
The AI works best on images with a clear subject against a contrasting background: people, products, and logos. Complex scenes or camouflaged subjects may need manual touch-up.
What format is the output?
The result is always a PNG with a transparent background. PNG is the only format that supports transparency.
How accurate is the AI?
For most product photos and portraits, accuracy is 90–95%. Hair, fur, and complex edges may have minor imperfections.
Can I use this for commercial projects?
Yes. The resulting images are yours to use for any personal or commercial purpose.
Is there a limit on how many images I can process?
The free plan allows background removal on a reasonable number of images per day. Heavy usage may be rate-limited to keep the tool free for everyone.
