Product background removal — Settings and quality

Worked example

There are no edge or threshold sliders: image size, framing and background are the settings that change the cutout.

The page is set to its product mode and always returns a transparent PNG. That is the right choice for a hard-edged object such as a shoe, a bottle or a gadget. It is not tuned for hair or fur, where a portrait tool would behave differently.

Resolution is the main tradeoff. A 1500 × 1500 px source keeps the PNG detailed enough for a catalogue and stays well below the 16 MB batch limit. A 5000 px camera original is slower, may be refused, and gives you a large PNG you do not need, so shrink it first with the Resize tool to roughly the largest size you will publish.

Framing is the other lever. Leave a small margin around the product and avoid cropping part of it, because the tool works on what is visible. If you want a consistent look, shoot every item against the same plain surface under the same light.

A common mistake is expecting the output to match the source dimensions in every case or to be small. A PNG with transparency is often larger than the JPG it came from, and a batch is limited to 64 MB of results. Run four images at a time and download them as you go.

There are no quality or edge sliders here; improving the input photo and its size is how you improve the cutout.
