What is Remove Background

The remove background operation detects the main object in the foreground and removes the surrounding area, filling it with the chosen color or leaving it transparent. This feature helps to isolate the main object, ensuring it stands out prominently against a clean background.

Key Uses

Remove Background can be used for:
Creating Product Catalogs: Enhance product images by removing distracting backgrounds, allowing the product to be the focal point in catalogs.
Uploading to E-commerce Platforms: Prepare professional-looking product images with clean, transparent, or solid-colored backgrounds, meeting the high visual standards of e-commerce platforms.
Posting to Social Media: Generate eye-catching images for social media where the main object is isolated against a plain background, making it more attractive and engaging to viewers.

Key Controls

You can choose between Remove Background types: General which can be used to remove background from product images and Car which was designed specifically for car images.

You can decide whether you would like to keep the image background transparent or select a background color.


Clipping is enabled by default. If enabled, the image will be clipped to the foreground object bounds.


Example of clipping enabled:

Padding

You can control how much space there's around the object and achieve a consistent look for visuals across your platform. This is essential for eCommerce where the frame around the item is essential for a visual experience.





You can select a value as a percentage which will be the same for all the 4 sides. The padding cannot be more than half the width/height.

Safe Zones

Most eCommerce platforms will require photos to have a white background. You can use Remove background operation and leave the background entirely white. But it's not enough just to remove the background because the resulting object will be trimmed to borders. Controlling the empty space surrounding the product image would add a more natural look and help meet the platform's requirements.

With Claid, you can specify the Safe Zone for objects, setting up the padding from horizontal and vertical sides as the minimum borders.

Tips and Tricks

For the best results, we suggest upscaling the image (and optionally correcting the colors) before removing the background.
