Is background removal fully local?

No. Product photos are uploaded for cloud AI processing (currently Fal models such as BiRefNet / Bria). Do not upload photos you are not allowed to process with a third-party provider.

What do I get for free?

Weekly free previews (watermarked, region rules may apply). HD/clean exports use credits on a signed-in account.

Hair, glass, and reflections look messy — what helps?

Use a clear subject, good lighting, and less busy backgrounds when possible. For hard edges, try again or clean up in the image editor after cutout.

Answer in one minute

To remove a product photo background on ArtCraft AI Online:

Open the background remover.
Upload a clear product shot (or try a sample).
Run a preview, check edges, then unlock HD when it looks right.
Download a transparent PNG for listings or further compositing.

Important: this path uses cloud AI (currently Fal). It is not a fully local / on-device cutout.

Before / after examples

We use real product-style samples on the site (bag, bottle, sneaker). Compare edges, shadows, and subject integrity — not just “background gone.”

Cutout result

Step-by-step

1. Open the tool

Go to Remove background. You will see the PhotoCraft-style workspace with upload, action tabs, and preview/HD controls.

2. Upload a good source image

Best results usually need:

A distinct subject (product not blending into the backdrop)
Reasonable resolution (tiny thumbs struggle)
Soft, even lighting when possible

Avoid heavy compression artifacts if you can re-export from the camera roll.

Your image is uploaded through our storage/API path so the inference provider can process it. Only use photos you are allowed to process with a third-party AI provider.

3. Run preview, then HD

Choose Remove background.
Run a free preview (watermarked; weekly quota and region rules may apply).
Inspect hair-like edges, reflections, glass, and thin straps.
When the cutout looks right, run HD with credits (signed-in account).

4. Export transparent PNG

Download the PNG and place it on your store template or design tool. If you need a white storefront backdrop instead of transparency, use the white background product photos guide.

Difficult cases

| Problem | What to try | | --- | --- | | Soft shadows look “cut off” | Soften the source shadow or composite a new shadow on white | | Glass / bottles | Expect imperfect refraction; cleanup may be needed | | Busy backgrounds | Reshoot or roughly crop tighter before cutout | | Logo distortion | Prefer HD only after preview looks stable |

Privacy & providers (accurate disclosure)

Images for remove-bg / white-bg go through ArtCraft APIs to cloud inference (Fal models such as BiRefNet / Bria depending on action).
Free previews may be watermarked and rate-limited.
This is not the same privacy model as PdfCraft merge (which stays in-browser).
