Frequently Asked Questions

How well does it handle hair and fine edges in portraits?
Our AI model is specifically trained to detect fine details like individual hair strands, wispy edges, and semi-transparent areas. It produces clean, natural-looking cutouts even with curly or flyaway hair — no manual touch-up needed in most cases.
Does it work with group portraits?
Yes. The AI detects all people in the image and removes the background behind all subjects simultaneously. You get a single transparent PNG with everyone cleanly cut out.
What resolution portraits can I process?
You can upload portraits up to 10MB in JPG, PNG, or WebP format. The tool processes the image at full resolution, so your output maintains the same quality as your input.
Can I replace the background with a specific color?
The tool outputs a transparent PNG. You can then place it on any background using any image editor, design tool like Canva or Figma, or even PowerPoint. For a white or colored background, just layer the PNG over a solid color.
Is my portrait photo stored on your servers?
No. All processing happens entirely in your browser using on-device AI. Your photos are never uploaded to any server. Once you close the tab, the image data is gone.
