A starting point.
Prepare a foreground cutout from a product or portrait photo. Use the resulting transparent image when placing the subject onto a different background.
Before you publish.
View the cutout against light and dark backgrounds. Check hair, glass, gaps and contact shadows for missing foreground or retained background.
Review the quote before running. A failed generation releases its reserved credits. Download the results you want to keep; stored media is retained for 30 days.
Settings and model questionsCheck the available settings and guidance when preparing your input.
Inputs and settings
Send image_url with a JPEG, PNG or WebP source; the provider specifies a maximum file size of 10 MB. This operation does not need a prompt or selection mask.
Keep an export with transparency. Converting the cutout to JPEG removes its alpha channel; inspect the final composite separately.
