Quality Levels Explained

Level Speed Edge Quality Best For
Standard 1–2 sec Good Simple subjects, logos, social media
High Recommended 3–5 sec Excellent Portraits, marketing, professional content
Maximum 5–10 sec Pixel-perfect Print materials, fine hair/fur, complex edges

Tip: For most users, High quality provides the best speed-to-quality ratio. Switch to Maximum only when you need pixel-perfect edge detail on hair, fur, or intricate objects.

Getting the Best Results

When AI Works Best

  • Clear subject with defined edges (people, products, pets)
  • Good, even lighting with minimal shadows
  • Visible contrast between subject and background
  • High-resolution images (1000 px+ recommended)
  • Simple backgrounds (solid colours, minimal patterns)

Challenging Scenarios

  • Very fine hair or fur with similar background colours
  • Transparent or reflective objects (glass, water)
  • Subjects blending into busy, complex backgrounds
  • Low-resolution or blurry source images
  • Extreme backlighting or silhouettes

Pro Tips for Best Results

  • Use High-Res Photos: At least 1000 px wide for clean, detailed edges.
  • Good Lighting Matters: Even lighting reduces shadows that confuse edge detection.
  • Try Edge Presets: Use “Crisp” for logos/products, “Soft” for portraits with hair, and “Balanced” for general use.
  • Quick Preview First: The low-res preview runs instantly-check framing before generating full quality.
