FAQ

Can it automatically remove complex photo backgrounds?

This tool makes selected colors and similar color ranges transparent. It may be limited for complex portrait photos where the subject and background share many colors, but it works well for product images, icons, game sprites, pixel art, and simple backgrounds.

Why is output always PNG?

PNG reliably supports transparent backgrounds, making it a good format for color removal results.

When should I use edge-only removal?

Use it when the background touches the image border but similar colors inside the subject should remain.
