  • Uses a people-only segmentation model, not a general product or object cutout model. Model-loading failures stop without producing a replacement cutout.
  • Best results are for centered subjects with clear separation from the background.
  • Complex hair or close background details may require manual cleanup.

What limits should I know about?

1 file · 50 MB max · 50,000,000 pixels max. Uses a people-only segmentation model, not a general product or object cutout model. Model-loading failures stop without producing a replacement cutout.

Is this automatic background removal?

It uses a browser-side people segmentation model. It is not a general object remover. If the model cannot run, the tool stops rather than returning an artificial cutout.
