Tips for Best Results

Image Quality: Use high-quality, well-lit source images
- Higher resolution inputs produce cleaner cutouts
- Good lighting helps AI distinguish subject from background
- Avoid heavily compressed or blurry images
Subject Contrast: Ensure good contrast between subject and background
- Clear separation improves accuracy
- Avoid subjects that blend into backgrounds
- Consider lighting to enhance subject definition
Format Selection: Choose output format based on intended use
- PNG: Essential for transparent backgrounds and professional use
- JPEG: Suitable when transparency isn't needed (adds white background)
- WebP: Modern format with transparency for web applications
Subject Types: Optimal performance with certain subjects
- People: Excellent results with portraits and full-body shots
- Products: Perfect for e-commerce and catalog photography
- Objects: Great for clear, well-defined items
- Animals: Good results, especially with pets and wildlife
Background Considerations: Some backgrounds work better than others
- Simple backgrounds: Clean, uncluttered backgrounds yield best results
- High contrast: Strong contrast between subject and background
- Avoid complex patterns: Busy backgrounds may affect edge detection

Notes
