Remove background
Cut a subject out from its background automatically and export it as a transparent PNG, ready to drop onto a product listing, a slide or a new backdrop. It handles hair, fur and other fine edges that a plain colour-key cutout misses, on portraits, products and pets alike. Priced by megapixel count, the number shown before you run is computed straight from your file, and it is exactly what you pay — nothing changes once the job finishes.
Console
remove-backgroundNothing is charged for uploading, and nothing runs until you press Run. Sign in to load a file and get an estimate first.
Upload your photo. It is queued for the background model, which reads the whole image rather than a header, so this step is slower than a resize and the wait is normal.
The image is sent to a hosted background-removal model, which returns a finished cutout rather than a mask you would have to apply yourself.
Run and download. The result comes back as PNG with an alpha channel, ready to drop straight onto a new backdrop, and a subject the model could not separate is flagged rather than charged for.
Questions
Does it handle hair and fur properly?
Yes — that is the hard case a simple colour-key cutout fails on, and the model this tool uses is trained specifically to keep fine strands rather than shaving them into a flat silhouette. Very fine flyaway hair against a busy background is still the most likely place to see a rough edge, so it is worth zooming in there before you commit to a run.
What format is the result?
PNG with an alpha channel, always — that is the only common format that can represent partial transparency at the edges the way a cutout needs. If you need the result on a solid colour instead of transparent, place it over a background image afterward rather than asking this tool to flatten it, since flattening would throw away the exact edge detail you cut it out for.
Why does the price differ from file to file?
Because it is priced by the megapixel count of the photo, not a flat rate — a four-megapixel portrait costs less to process than a forty-megapixel scan, regardless of how tangled the edge is. The price you see before running is computed straight from your file, and it is exactly what you pay when the job finishes.
Will it work on more than one subject in a frame?
It keeps everything the model identifies as foreground, so a group photo or a product with several items in shot generally comes through together rather than isolating just one. If you need only a single subject removed from a busier scene, crop tightly around it first so there is less for the model to disagree about.
What does it cost?
Eight credits as a base plus three per megapixel. A typical four-megapixel portrait comes to twenty credits; a forty-megapixel scan costs several times more, because the price scales with the megapixel count. The number you see before you run is computed straight from your photo, and it does not change once the job finishes.
