AI Background Removal

One-click background removal, outputting a transparent PNG — the recommended first step before Image to 3D.

TL;DR

  • One-click background removal, outputting a transparent PNG.

  • Primary use case: pre-processing for Image to 3D — a clean background significantly improves 3D generation quality.

  • Supports intelligent detection of complex edges (hair, transparent objects).

  • Available to free users, consuming minimal credits.

When to Use

  • Before uploading to Image to 3D — remove complex backgrounds to improve generation accuracy.

  • When you need clean product images for e-commerce display.

  • To extract a subject from a photo as a reference for AI generation.

When NOT to Use

  • The image already has a solid or transparent background.

  • You want to keep the background as scene context (e.g., for Scene Compose).

Step-by-Step

  1. Navigate to the Image module in the left sidebar.

  2. Select AI Background Removal.

  3. Upload your image (supports JPG, PNG, max 10MB).

  4. The system automatically detects the subject and removes the background.

  5. Preview the result; adjust the threshold if edges have artifacts.

  6. Download the transparent PNG or send it directly to Image to 3D.

Troubleshooting

SymptomCauseFix
Parts of the subject deletedForeground/background colors are too similarUse a higher-contrast input image
Hair edges look jaggedDetail too complexNormal behavior; minimal impact on 3D generation
Output file larger than expectedHigh-resolution inputNormal; PNG preserves original resolution
