Everything you need to remove backgrounds cleanly
Drop a photo and the background is removed instantly — person segmentation detects portraits, or falls back to general foreground detection.
Tap any point to select all matching pixels within a sensitivity threshold — drag the slider to select more or less of the background in real time.
Manually paint back detail the auto-mask missed or erase stray fringe — adjustable brush size (1–100 px) with full undo/redo on every stroke.
Expand or contract the mask boundary, smooth jagged edges, and add feathering — the composite updates live as you adjust.
Result, Original, Mask Overlay, Matte, and draggable Before/After split view — inspect fine detail at any zoom level with pan controls.
Copy the cutout to the clipboard (⌘C) for direct paste into any app, or export as PNG with transparency (⌘E) — choose solid backgrounds or composite a custom image.
