Prepare your images for background removal and AI backgrounds

Why upscaling first helps your results

If you start with a small or low-quality image, you may see rough edges after background removal or a mismatch when you generate a new background.

Upscaling first gives Claid a sharper subject, which improves cutouts and helps the final result look consistent and professional.

Step 1: Improve quality & Upscale

Use Improve quality & Upscale Suite to clean up artifacts, restore details, and increase resolution. Choose the enhancement that fits your image type.

💡 Tip: If your image is very small or low-resolution, upscaling first usually gives better results. If your image is already large, you can enhance it without changing its size.

Step 2: Remove Background

Run Remove Background to isolate your product cleanly. With a sharper, higher-res input, edge detection is more precise and cutouts look smoother.

Step 3: Generate a new background

Create a background that fits your product:

AI Backgrounds: Generate from Text – describe the scene you want.
AI Backgrounds: Claid Templates – start from ready-made templates or your own.

💡 Tip: A higher-quality product photo will also result in a higher-quality background. When your subject is clear and sharp, the generated background adapts more naturally. This is why upscaling first is an important step.

Step 4: Finishing touches (optional)

Fix light & colors to balance exposure and tones.
Expand Image to adjust aspect ratio or add negative space for layouts.

Summary

Improve quality & Upscale → Remove Background → Generate background → Optional finishing tools.

Following this order helps you get clean cutouts and cohesive, professional product photos.
