Guide
Background Remover: what actually matters
Removing a background is not the same as compliance
A cut-out with a transparent background is not yet a main image. It needs to be placed on pure white, sized so the product fills at least 85% of the frame, and exported at a resolution that enables zoom. Removal is the first step of three, and stopping after the first is why some sellers still fail the check with a technically background-free image.
Where edge quality actually matters
Hair, fur, transparent materials and fine mesh are where automatic removal struggles, and where a bad cut-out is obvious at zoom. If your product has any of those, inspect the edges at full size before publishing. A halo of grey pixels around a dark product on white is visible and looks cheap.
Shadows: keep or remove?
A hard drop shadow is generally not permitted in a compliant main image. A soft contact shadow directly under the product is usually acceptable and makes it look grounded rather than floating. When in doubt, remove it — a floating product is a stylistic complaint, while a shadow that reads as a graphic element is a compliance risk.
Keep the original
Removal is destructive in the sense that you cannot recover detail the cut-out discarded at the edges. Keep the source photograph. You will want it again the first time you need a lifestyle variant, a different crop, or a re-cut at higher resolution.
FAQ
Common questions
Does background removal cost credits?
It is bundled inside image generation at no extra credit cost, on every plan including the free one.
What image formats does it accept?
Standard product photograph formats. If you are working from a phone photo, use the largest version you have rather than one already resized for messaging — resolution discarded before removal cannot be recovered afterwards.
Can I get a transparent PNG out of it?
Removal produces the cut-out that image generation then places on the background you need. If your goal specifically is a marketplace main image, the white background generator does removal and compliant placement in one step.
How long is the output kept?
A daily purge clears generated output on every plan, typically within about 48 hours. Download what you want to keep as soon as you have it.
