How to use this tool well
Steps
- 1Upload the image you want to clean.
- 2Choose the color that should become transparent.
- 3Adjust tolerance until the preview keeps the artwork and removes the background.
Tips
- •Start with a moderate tolerance, then increase it gradually.
- •Use the preview background switcher to check edges.
- •Avoid high tolerance when the artwork shares colors with the background.
Manual control
This tool is useful when you know exactly which background color should be removed. It gives more direct control than automatic background removal.
Best source images
Flat backgrounds and crisp artwork work best. Photos with complex lighting usually need automatic background removal instead.
