Background removal used to mean hours of masking. Now it takes seconds.

Precise edge detection on objects of any shape, material, or color

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it really free to remove backgrounds from images?

Yes. Uploading and previewing results is always free — no account required to start. Downloading the full-resolution transparent PNG uses credits. New accounts receive 5 free credits automatically, and you can earn more by referring friends.

What image formats can I upload?

We support JPG, JPEG, PNG, WEBP, and BMP. All outputs are delivered as transparent PNG files.

Does it work on any type of image?

It works well on images where the subject is clearly defined in the foreground — portraits, product photos, logos, and pets. Results may vary on heavily blurred edges, very low contrast between subject and background, or out-of-focus images. The free preview lets you verify quality before downloading.

How accurate is the AI on portraits and hair?

The model uses hair-level segmentation trained on human and pet subjects, producing clean edges even on fine strands. For very complex hair, you can manually refine edges after the automatic cutout using the edit tool.

Can I replace the background instead of leaving it transparent?

Yes. After removing the background you can apply any solid color or upload a custom image as a new background directly in the tool before downloading.

Can I process multiple images at once?

The web version processes one image at a time. For bulk processing, download the Desktop App (Windows / Mac) to batch remove backgrounds from entire folders at once.

Is there an API for automated workflows?

Yes. The Cutout.Pro API can be integrated into iOS, Android, Mac, Windows, Linux, and web platforms — ideal for e-commerce pipelines, SaaS products, or any workflow requiring automated background removal at scale.

Is my image kept private?

Yes. All uploaded images are processed securely. We do not store or share your files.
