Settings information

13 settings

Every control in Background Remover, explained — what it does and when to use it.

Mode

Single image / BatchPresets
Switch between cutting out one photo at a time and processing many photos in one go, with every batch result delivered together as a single ZIP download.Options: Single imageBatch

Background

BackgroundPresets
Choose what appears behind your cutout: keep it transparent, add a solid color, a blurred copy of the original photo, your own uploaded photo, or a designed backdrop.Options: NoneColorBlurPhotoDesign

ColorColor picker
Pick the solid color placed behind your subject — tap one of six quick swatches (white, black, light gray, blue, green, red) or use the Custom picker for any exact shade.

Background blur intensitySliderRange: 2–30px · Default: 12px
In Blur mode, the Blur slider controls how strongly a copy of your original photo is blurred behind the subject; higher values give a stronger depth-of-field, portrait-style look.

Upload a background photoFile input
In Photo mode, choose an image from your device to place behind the cutout subject, replacing the removed background with a scene of your own.

Background photo blurSliderRange: 0–30px · Default: 0px
In Photo mode, the Blur slider softens your uploaded background photo so a busy scene doesn't compete with the subject; leave at 0 to keep the new background fully sharp.

DesignPresets
Pick a ready-made backdrop for your cutout — browse curated gradient swatches or the background library of patterns and studio-style designs, applied instantly in the preview.Options: GradientsBackgrounds

Refine edgesDraw on image
Opens a brush editor to manually touch up the cutout when the automatic result leaves background behind or trims too much, such as hair or fine edge detail.

Refine edges

Erase / RestorePresets
Erase paints away leftover background the automatic cutout missed; Restore paints the original photo back where too much was removed, ideal for hair strands or jewellery.Options: EraseRestore

BrushSliderRange: 2–20 · Default: 6
Sets the brush size for erasing or restoring, scaled to the image's size so strokes stay proportionate on both small photos and very high-resolution ones.

Product photos (e-commerce)

Product photos (e-commerce)On / Off
In Batch mode, standardizes every cutout for marketplace listings by trimming, centering, padding and resizing each product onto a uniform square background so a whole catalog looks consistent.

Output sizePresets
The square pixel size every product image is resized to (1000² by default); pick a larger size for zoom-friendly marketplace listings, smaller for faster-loading pages.Options: 1000²1200²2000²

PaddingSliderRange: 0–30% · Default: 5%
How much empty margin surrounds each product inside its square, as a percentage of the frame — more padding gives products consistent breathing room across a listing grid.
