Question 1

How does AI background removal work?

Accepted Answer

Recraft's model identifies the subject of the photo, separates it from the background, and returns a transparent PNG. The model is trained on millions of images, so it handles people, products, animals, vehicles, and most everyday subjects without manual masking.

Question 2

What does the output look like?

Accepted Answer

A PNG file with a transparent background. The subject keeps its original colors and edges. Drop the result into a design tool, a slide, a website, or a marketing composition and place it on any new background.

Question 3

Can it handle hair, fur, and fine edges?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Recraft's model is built for the cases that trip up basic background removers. Strands of hair, animal fur, glass, semi-transparent objects, and thin lines come through cleanly. Difficult subjects benefit from a clear, well-lit input photo.

Question 4

Does it work on product photos for ecommerce?

Accepted Answer

This is where Remove Background shines. Ecommerce sellers, brands, and agencies use it to turn studio shots, supplier photos, and on-location product images into clean cutouts ready for a marketplace listing, a website, or a marketing composition.

Question 5

Can it remove the background from a person?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The model handles people, faces, full-body shots, and group photos. Use it for thumbnails, profile cutouts, marketing creative, and any composition where you want the person without the original setting.

Question 6

Does it preserve shadows under the subject?

Accepted Answer

The output is a clean cutout of the subject. The original background and the shadows that fall on it are removed. If you need a shadow preserved, generate a new shadow in your design tool, or use an image-edit model in Visual Sandbox to add one back.

Question 7

What input formats are supported?

Accepted Answer

Common photo formats including JPEG, PNG, and WebP. Drop in a photo from a phone, a camera, a scan, or an AI-generated image. The output is always a transparent PNG, regardless of the input format.

Question 8

How much does a background removal cost?

Accepted Answer

About a cent per image. Visual Sandbox shows the exact cost before you generate, and charges per image when the result is delivered. There is no subscription, no monthly minimum, no top-up. Whether you process one image or a thousand, the cost stays the same per image.

Question 9

Can I use the output commercially?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The output keeps the rights of the original photo. If you own the source, you own the cutout. Ecommerce sellers, designers, photographers, and agencies use Remove Background for product listings, marketing creative, t-shirt and merchandise design, and client work on Visual Sandbox.
