Tool · Background removal

Remove a background in one click

Cutting out a product shot, a portrait or a generation is still the most requested edit. Here it takes no pen tool and no layer: open the image, choose background removal, and the subject comes out on a transparent background.

What background removal does

One subject, a transparent background

The engine isolates the main subject and removes everything else. The result is an image with a transparent background, ready to drop on another backdrop, a mockup or a product page.

Three modes for three kinds of subject

General Use for objects and products, Portrait for people, Matting for fine edges — hair, fur, sheer fabric. It runs on BiRefNet, a segmentation model built for those contours, not a colour-keying filter.

Where you already work

The editor opens from a generation preview, from a workflow gallery or on a board. No export, no other tool to open, no file to rename.

The next step without switching tools

The same editor upscales, erases a detail or replaces an area. And the cut-out can go to an editing model to be placed in a new scene.

How to remove a background

Four moves, no manual selection.

  1. 1 · Open the imageA generation in Generate, an image from a workflow gallery, or an image on a board — uploaded or generated.
  2. 2 · Choose background removalIn the editor, open the background removal tab (Détourage) and the mode that fits: General Use, Portrait or Matting.
  3. 3 · Run itThe cost is shown before you confirm. The result lands in a few seconds.
  4. 4 · Keep the resultFrom Generate or a workflow the cut-out is added to your generations. On a board it becomes a new version of the element, and the original stays available.

Frequently asked questions

Does AI background removal handle hair?
That is the hard case for any automatic cut-out, and it is what Matting mode is for. When the background is very close to the subject in colour, check the edge before using the image.
What format does background removal return?
An image with a transparent background, ready to place on another backdrop or in a mockup.
Can I remove the background of several images at once?
Background removal runs one image at a time from the editor today. For a series, an editing model wired into a workflow can isolate a product on a plain background, and Scale mode replays that workflow over a whole list.
Is background removal free?
It uses credits like any operation, and the cost is shown before you run it. The free plan includes a starting allowance; details are on the Pricing page.
Do I need an account to remove a background?
Yes: an operation uses real compute, which has to be attached to someone. Signing up to the free plan needs no card.
