Overview
How might we design background removal so people can trust and act on AI output?
When to use
- Ideal for e-commerce platforms, marketing tools, and design applications where automatic background removal accelerates workflow and improves image quality.
When to skip
- The scene background is part of the creative intent.
- Glass, hair, or mesh needs manual matting for legal proof.
- Batch jobs lack QA for obvious halo artifacts.
Rules
No edge brush or feather after auto cutout.
Replacing background without showing original for compare.
Export only PNG when JPG on white would suffice for catalog.
Removing background on low-res input with no quality warning.
