How does the background remover work?

An AI segmentation model (BiRefNet) finds the main subject and builds a transparent alpha channel around it. The result is a PNG with real transparency, the same check our library images pass.

What photos work best?

One clear subject, in focus, not cut off by the frame. Products, people, pets, logos on paper, food. Busy scenes with several subjects may be cut differently than you expect.

Why is there a short wait?

The cutout runs on a GPU worker. Requests are processed in order, usually within a minute; during busy moments the page shows your place in the queue.
