FAQ
Questions, answered
Do I need a green screen?
No. The AI finds the person in the frame without any special backdrop.
Does it work for multiple people?
It is tuned for a person or people in the foreground; very busy scenes can produce rough edges.
Can I remove the background from a photo?
Yes, use the free Background Remover tool for images and get a transparent PNG.
