Remove or replace a photo background

Background removal is often only one step. Product photos, ID photos, passport photos, and profile images can require different crop, background, and export rules, so choose the workflow based on the final use.

Questions about this workflow

Is a white background always acceptable for ID photos?

No. Requirements depend on the document and issuing authority. Check the official specification before submitting a photo.

Do I need AI for every background edit?

No. AI is useful for segmentation, but deterministic cropping, resizing, and background replacement can be better for rule-based document workflows.
