Frequently Asked Questions

How do I remove backgrounds from complex images?

Start with a larger brush to remove bulk background areas, then zoom in and use a smaller brush (5-10px) for detailed edge work around hair, fur, or intricate details.

What is the difference between Erase and Restore?

Erase makes areas transparent (removes background). Restore brings back the original image in erased areas (fixes mistakes).

Can I undo if I erase too much?

Yes! Use the Undo button to step back through your edits, or switch to the Restore tool to selectively bring back erased areas.

What does "Auto Remove White BG" do?

This feature automatically detects and removes white or light-colored backgrounds (RGB values above 200). Great for product photos on white backgrounds.

Why should I use manual removal instead of AI?

Manual removal gives you complete control over every pixel. AI tools can miss fine details like hair, transparent objects, or unusual edges. Manual tools never make mistakes you didn't intend.

What format is the output image?

Images are exported as PNG files with full alpha channel transparency, compatible with all design and editing software.

Can I work on high-resolution images?

Yes! The tool works with images of any resolution. Larger images may process slightly slower but maintain full quality.

Is my image uploaded to a server?

No! All background removal happens in your browser using HTML5 Canvas. Your images never leave your device.
