Frequently Asked Questions
It works best on solid or near-solid backgrounds — a plain wall, a studio backdrop, a solid-color product photo background. It uses color-based removal rather than AI subject detection, so a busy, multi-colored, or textured background won't cut out cleanly.
Increase the tolerance slightly — this expands the range of colors treated as background, which helps catch shadows, gradients, or slight lighting variation near the edges of a mostly-solid backdrop.
This happens when the subject contains a color close to the sampled background color. Lower the tolerance so only colors very close to the exact sampled point are removed, then reprocess.
It blends the transition between kept and removed pixels near edges, avoiding a harsh, jagged cutout line — higher values give a softer, more gradual edge, which often looks more natural for photos.
No — the entire process, from sampling the color to generating the transparent PNG, runs locally in your browser using the Canvas API. Your image never leaves your device.
