Background removal

Separates the subject from its background and returns a transparent cutout of what is left.

The tool estimates which pixels belong to the subject and makes the remaining area transparent. Check hair, fur, and soft edges for lost details or remaining background.The result stores transparency in an alpha channel. Viewers often display transparent areas as a checkerboard.
Strip background
Removes the background entirely, leaving a transparent cutout of the main subject.

The robot gardener, whose silhouette is clean enough that a reader can see where the cut fell. The result is RGBA: what was behind the subject is transparent rather than white. The plants growing out of the robot's head are cut away with the background, which is the honest thing to show: the matte is decided by what the model reads as subject, not by what a reader would have chosen. This example was rendered with an earlier background remover and is regenerated when the horde's current one lands.
