Background Remover — FAQ
Is it really free?
First 5 are free, no card. After that, $9 gets you a 100-credit pack, or pick a subscription tier.
How does it handle hair + edges?
BiRefNet — currently the best general-purpose matting model. Sharper than rembg or SAM on hair, lace, translucent fabric. We use it in production for AI outfit try-on so it's hardened on edge cases that wreck cheaper tools.
Transparent or solid background?
Transparent PNG by default. Solid background optional (white, black, custom hex).
What formats?
JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, AVIF. Up to 10 MB. HEIC auto-converts in the browser.
Can I use the result commercially?
Yes. Your photo, your output. The AI step doesn't change ownership.
