How to do it
- 01
Upload the portrait
A photo where the person is in focus and stands out from the background works best.
- 02
Remove the background
The model separates the person from the scene, including around the hairline.
- 03
Download and place
Save the transparent PNG, then add a solid background color for a clean headshot.
From experience
Getting clean edges on people
- Hair is where every background remover struggles. Use the High precision model and a portrait with clear contrast between hair and background.
- Frizzy or wind-blown hair against a busy background is the worst case - a plainer backdrop in the original photo gives a far cleaner cut.
- For ID and passport-style photos, remove the background then composite onto the exact required color rather than removing straight to white.
- Glasses and earrings can confuse the cut-out; zoom in after processing to check those edges.
