Background Remover FAQ
How do I remove background from image online?
Upload your JPG, PNG, or WebP image to ShotEdit, choose Basic Local for browser-based processing or Pro AI for sharper cutouts, preview the result, then download a transparent PNG, JPG, or WebP file.
What is the difference between Basic Local and AI mode?
Basic Local mode processes images in your browser using a simple color-and-edge algorithm — fast and private for plain backgrounds. AI mode uploads your image to our server for higher-quality background removal powered by advanced AI models. Signed-in users can try AI with a limited shared trial allowance, while Pro members use their monthly AI quota.
Is my image safe in AI mode?
Yes. Images uploaded for AI background removal are temporarily stored for processing only. AI background generation sends only your preset, text prompt, and aspect ratio. Finished tasks are cleaned up automatically, and generated backgrounds are composited locally in your browser.
Can I generate a new background after removing the original one?
Yes. After the cutout is ready, signed-in users can choose AI background, pick a preset or write a custom description, and use any remaining shared trial allowance. Pro members use their monthly AI quota. ShotEdit then composites the subject and background locally for download or copy.
How do I use AI background removal for free?
Sign in and use the limited free AI trial for background removal and AI background generation. These two features share the same trial allowance. When it runs out, upgrade to ShotEdit Pro to continue using server-side AI. For free local processing of simple backgrounds without an account, use Basic Local mode.
Do I need Pro to use AI mode?
You need to be signed in to use AI mode. Signed-in users who are not Pro members receive a limited free trial, and the trial ends when its shared allowance is used. Pro members can continue using AI with their monthly quota.
Can I download formats besides PNG?
Yes. When AI processing is available through your trial allowance or Pro quota, you can choose transparent PNG, WebP, or JPG with a filled background. JPG exports use a white background when transparency is selected.
🔒 Privacy and processing
Basic Local mode processes images in your browser. Pro AI background removal temporarily uploads images, while AI background generation sends only the preset, text prompt, and aspect ratio. Generated backgrounds are returned to the browser for local compositing.
