Transparent background
Turn any photo into a PNG with a see-through background.
White background
Put products and portraits on pure white, the way marketplaces want them.
Change background
Swap the background for a color, a gradient, one of our photos or your own.
Blur background

Drop shadow
A soft shadow under your cut-out, so it sits on the background instead of floating.
