Start with the problem you want to solve. These guides follow EraseBG’s current upload, comparison, background, and export controls; they also explain when a new source photo is a better choice than another edit.
Prepare a product photo on white
A practical workflow for a clean backdrop and an honest product image.
Fix processing and download problems
Work through the symptom you see, one step at a time.
Choose a workflow by the final file
| What you need | In the editor | What to verify |
|---|---|---|
| Place a subject on another design | Transparent → Export image → PNG | Run the transparency checker and inspect light and dark backdrops. |
| A product photo with a white backdrop | Color → white → PNG or JPG | Compare labels, straps, openings, and the item’s shape with the original. |
| A portrait in a new scene | Image → Choose a background | The backdrop fills the canvas and is cropped centrally. Check lighting and proportions. |
| A logo without a surrounding box | Try a clear raster source → inspect → PNG | The photo model can lose lettering. Prefer the official transparent PNG or SVG when available. |
Before you start
PNG, JPG, and WebP are supported up to 10 MB and 40 million pixels. The first removal downloads model files. A successful upload is not proof that removal has finished: wait for “Cutout ready” before exporting. Keep the original so you can spot missing details. The editor changes backgrounds; it has no manual mask brush, vector tracing, relighting, or marketplace certification.
These instructions document EraseBG’s implemented controls. The About page identifies the project maintainer, and the gallery method explains how the sample masks were prepared.
