    Preview the result and download it — put your subject on a clean white background ready for the next step.

Frequently asked questions

Is the background remover free?

Yes. New accounts get 20 free credits on signup plus 10 more every day, so you can remove backgrounds for free daily. Paid credits unlock watermark-free, commercial-ready output and higher resolution.

What image formats can I upload?

JPG, PNG, and WebP are all supported. Upload a clear photo of your subject and the AI handles the rest — no manual selection or masking needed.

Does it handle hair and fine detail?

Yes. The model is tuned to keep crisp, natural edges around hair, fur, and thin details that traditional lasso or magic-wand tools struggle with.

Can I use the results commercially?

Paid-credit outputs are watermark-free with full commercial usage rights. Free-tier outputs include a small watermark for trial and personal use.

How is this different from removing a background by hand?

Manual removal in Photoshop can take minutes per image and needs skill for hair and edges. This does it in one click, keeps clean edges automatically, and scales to as many images as you need.

Can I put the subject on a transparent or colored background?

The tool places your subject on a clean solid background by default. For a different backdrop or a full scene swap, open the result in the Shotari editor and describe the background you want.
