Frequently asked questions
Why should I download PNG instead of JPG?
PNG supports transparent pixels. JPG replaces transparency with a solid background.
Is the photo uploaded for AI processing?
No. The background-removal model runs in the browser on your device.
What photos work best?
Use a sharp, well-lit photo where the main subject has a visible edge against the background.
