What is the difference between AI Background Remover and Precision Transparency?
AI Background Remover finds a subject and removes its background. Precision Transparency removes white or gray backgrounds while preserving lines and colors.
When should I use AI Background Remover?
Use it for people, characters, products, and game objects that need to be separated from a background.
When should I use Precision Transparency?
Use it for logos, icons, stamps, and white-background images where you want to keep only lines or colors.
How are Remove White Background and Precision Transparency different?
Remove White Background is tuned for white or near-white canvases. Precision Transparency gives more control for white, black, gray, checkerboard-like, and selected graphic backgrounds.
How should I handle an image with a checkerboard background?
If the checkerboard is baked into the image, use Precision Transparency with a gray or checkerboard-style target and check the result on white and black previews.
Which mode is best for a black-background logo?
Start with Precision Transparency and choose the black background target. Use a lighter strength if black text or dark details are part of the logo.
What settings are good for game assets?
Use AI Background Remover for characters and rendered objects. Use Precision Transparency for icons, UI, pixel art, and flat-color backgrounds, then resize to the target game dimensions.
Which image formats are supported?
PNG, JPG, JPEG, and WEBP are supported. Images under 10MB are recommended.
Should I use PNG, JPG, or WebP?
Use PNG for transparency, logos, icons, UI, and game assets. Use JPG for photos without transparency. Use WebP for web delivery when your platform supports it.
What format is the download?
The result downloads as a PNG file with transparency support.
When can background removal be difficult?
Images with similar subject and background colors or blurry edges may produce imperfect results. Try another mode or strength setting.
Can I use it on mobile?
Yes. File selection, preview, and PNG download are available on mobile.
