Background Removal

Automatically remove backgrounds from images using AI. Get transparent PNGs or replace backgrounds with new scenes. Perfect for product photos, portraits, and graphics.

How It Works

  1. Attach an image - Upload or drag & drop the image

  2. Request background removal - Type "remove background" or use natural language

  3. AI processes - System automatically detects intent and routes to background removal

  4. Get result - Receive transparent PNG with background removed

Two Methods

Automatic Background Removal

Best for: Simple backgrounds, clear subjects

  1. Attach image

  2. Type: "Remove the background" or "Make background transparent"

  3. AI automatically detects and processes

  4. Get transparent PNG

How it works:

  • Uses Bria AI model

  • Automatically detects subject

  • Removes background cleanly

  • Outputs transparent PNG

Subject-Specific Removal

Best for: Complex scenes, multiple subjects, specific selection

  1. Attach image

  2. Type: "Remove background, keep the [subject]" or "Isolate the [object]"

  3. AI uses prompt to identify what to keep

  4. Get result with specified subject isolated

How it works:

  • Uses EVF-SAM model

  • Uses your prompt to identify subject

  • More precise control

  • Better for complex scenes

Use Cases

Product Photography

Example:

  • Upload product photo

  • Request: "Remove background"

  • Result: Product on transparent background

  • Use: E-commerce, catalogs, marketing

Portrait Isolation

Example:

  • Upload portrait photo

  • Request: "Remove background, keep the person"

  • Result: Person on transparent background

  • Use: Headshots, profile pictures, composites

Object Extraction

Example:

  • Upload image with multiple objects

  • Request: "Remove background, keep the car"

  • Result: Car isolated on transparent background

  • Use: Graphics, design work, composites

Background Replacement

Example:

  • Upload image

  • Request: "Remove background and replace with [new scene]"

  • Result: Subject on new background

  • Use: Creative composites, scene changes

Tips for Best Results

  1. Clear subject - Well-defined subjects work best

  2. Good contrast - Subject should stand out from background

  3. High quality - Better source images = better results

  4. Be specific - For complex scenes, specify what to keep

  5. Simple backgrounds - Works best with uncluttered backgrounds

  6. Good lighting - Well-lit subjects produce cleaner edges

Output Format

Transparent PNG

Characteristics:

  • Format: PNG with alpha channel

  • Transparency: Background is fully transparent

  • Quality: Maintains original image quality

  • Compatibility: Works in all design software

Use cases:

  • Design work

  • Composites

  • Graphics

  • Web use

Common Workflows

Quick Background Removal

  1. Upload image

  2. Type: "Remove background"

  3. Get transparent PNG

  4. Use in your project

Subject Isolation

  1. Upload image

  2. Type: "Remove background, keep the [subject]"

  3. Get isolated subject

  4. Composite into new scene

Troubleshooting

"Background not fully removed"

Solutions:

  • Ensure good contrast between subject and background

  • Try subject-specific removal with clear prompt

  • Check image quality (higher quality = better results)

  • Request refinement: "Remove more of the background"

"Subject edges are rough"

Solutions:

  • Use higher quality source images

  • Ensure good lighting in original

  • Try different models (subject-specific may be better)

  • Request edge refinement

"Wrong subject isolated"

Solutions:

  • Be more specific in your prompt

  • Use subject-specific removal method

  • Describe the subject clearly

  • Try: "Keep only the [specific subject]"

"Background removal not working"

Solutions:

  • Check that image is properly attached

  • Ensure you're requesting background removal clearly

  • Try: "Remove background" or "Make transparent"

  • Verify API keys are configured
