Use the “Eraser” tool to touch up any leftover areas manually.
The process takes anywhere from a few seconds to a minute. This depends on the current workload and the complexity of your image.
How to pick the best image for background removal?
To aid the AI in removing the background, it’s important to select a good source image. Here are some recommendations that will help you achieve high-quality results:
High image quality
- High resolution: Make sure your image is high-resolution and free of pixelation. The higher the resolution, the easier it is for AI to identify the outlines of the objects.
- No noise: Avoid images with digital noise, blur, and other visual artifacts that can confuse the AI.
Contrasting background
- Color and brightness: Your main object should be distinct from the background in color, tone, or brightness. For example, a light object will read better against a dark background.
- Clear outlines: Your object should have a clear border, otherwise the AI might accidentally crop out parts of it.
No extra elements
- Clear background: Avoid complex backgrounds with lots of extra details, textures, or patterns. The simpler the background, the easier it will be for the AI to crop out the main object.
- Singular objects: Use images that focus on one object. If your image focuses on multiple objects, it will be harder for the AI to identify what to crop out.
Good lighting
- Even lighting: An image with even, smooth lighting and no hard shadows will be recognized better.
- Avoid highlights and flares: They can distort the shape of the object and mislead the AI.
Clear object outline
- Small details: AI can recognise details such as hair or small accessories. However, when taking a picture, try to avoid small details blending with the background.
- Minimal transparency: Removing backgrounds from transparent objects like glass or water may not produce good results.
Object placement
- Centering: The AI will be able to recognize your object better if it is placed in the centre of the image.
- Proportion: Don’t crop out parts of your object - the AI is better at recognizing complete outlines.
Difficult cases
If your object has a complex shape or the background in the image is overloaded, try the following:
- Use a simple monochromatic background (such as white or green)
- Edit the image beforehand to increase the contrast
