Background removal is the process of deleting or isolating the background of an image, leaving the main subject (such as a person, product, or object) intact. This is often done to place the subject on a transparent or different background.

Common reasons include: * Creating professional product photos for e-commerce * Designing marketing materials * Removing distractions from photos * Replacing backgrounds for creative or branding purposes

Most services and tools support popular formats like: * JPEG (.jpg) * PNG (.png) * PSD * WebP TIFF (some platforms) For output, PNG is often preferred since it supports transparent backgrounds.

It depends on the tool or method used. High-quality background removal tools preserve image resolution and fine details (like hair or fur) with minimal loss. However, compressing the image or using low-quality tools might degrade quality.

Yes, but the quality varies. AI-based or manual methods (like Photoshop masking) handle complex edges better than basic automatic tools.

It can be: * Automatic: Done using AI/image processing tools (fast but may be less precise) * Manual: Done by a designer (slow but highly accurate) Some services offer both options.

You can add: * Solid colors * Custom gradients * Other images (e.g., office, outdoors, etc.) * Transparent background (for flexibility in design)

That depends on the tool or service. Free tools may limit the number of images per day or per session, while paid plans often allow batch processing or unlimited usage.

Yes, but check the license or terms of use of the tool or service you're using. Some free tools may have restrictions on commercial use.

* Background removal deletes the background, often leaving it transparent. * Background replacement swaps the original background with a new one.

Depends on your needs: * Quick and simple: Use online AI tools (e.g., remove.bg, Canva, Fotor) * Professional detail: Use Photoshop, GIMP, or hire a designer * Bulk jobs: Use automated batch tools or APIs
