Image Tips and Ideas

Tip

Start with contrast

A subject that stands out from the background gives the remover clearer edges to work with.
Tip

Keep important edges clean

Avoid motion blur and heavy compression so details like hair, hands, or product edges stay crisp.
Tip

Leave breathing room

Give the subject a little space around the edges so the cutout does not clip important details.
Tip

Plan your final background

Use transparency for overlays, or choose a solid color that matches your marketplace or brand.
Tip

Prep for listings and slides

Clean cutouts work well for product catalogs, profile photos, and presentation decks.
