Cutouts for Marketing, Social, and Ad Creative
Marketing and social content chew through cutouts. Every campaign needs a few dozen — influencer headshots lifted out of busy scenes, product shots dropped onto brand gradients, team photos composited into layouts.
Doing this by hand is a bottleneck. AI background removal turns a 10-minute Photoshop task into a 10-second upload.
Typical marketing use cases
A few common patterns:
- Social thumbnails: subject lifted out, dropped onto brand color blocks, text overlaid.
- Email banners: hero subject on gradient, CTA next to it.
- Ad creative: one subject, multiple backgrounds for A/B testing different contexts.
- Pitch decks: CEO / exec portraits with consistent backgrounds across slides.
- Event collateral: speaker photos on brand-consistent backgrounds.
Tips for busy source images
Marketing source photos are often busy — event shots, stock photography, lifestyle images. Start with the precise model; it holds better on complex backgrounds.
If the subject is partially occluded by other people or objects, the brush tool is your friend. A few seconds of erase work cleans up edge cases.
Consistency across a campaign
For campaigns with many cutouts, use the same model across all images for visual consistency. Switching models mid-campaign can produce subtly different edge characteristics that read as inconsistent at scale.
If you’re running hundreds of assets, the API lets you enforce a single model choice programmatically.
FAQ
How many images can I process for free?
The online tool has a generous fair-use limit per browser. For anything high-volume, the API is more reliable.
Can I preserve natural shadows?
The AI removes hard shadows by default. Use the restore brush to bring back partial shadows if you want a grounded look.
