Introduction

PhotoCut offers various cutout options to help you easily remove the background from your images. Each option provides a different level of control, allowing you to choose the best one for your needs.

Basic Cutout

The Basic Cutout is the simplest option, automatically removing the background when you import an image into PhotoCut. It is designed to identify people and products in the image.

You can also use the Remove Background tool on the Create page to apply the Basic Cutout to an image.

Keep in mind that the Basic Cutout algorithm is regularly updated and improved.

Assisted Cutout

With Assisted Cutout, you have more control over which parts of the image are included in your design. PhotoCut helps with boundary detection, making it easier for you to remove and restore objects, people, and parts of the background.

HD Cuts

HD Cuts are advanced options available on the Pro plan. They are better at detecting objects and people's boundaries in photos. If the default cutout doesn't give you the desired result, try using HD Cuts.

To use HD Cuts:

• Edit a design.
• Import a new image or select one from Your Content.
• Select a foreground layer, like Product.
• Choose Cutout and then select one of the HD cuts:

The HD cuts include:

• Person HD: Ideal for cutting around people, especially hair.
• Object HD: Designed for precise cutting around foreground objects.
• Standard HD: Great for defining edges accurately.
• Graphics HD: Perfect for cutting out graphical elements like illustrations and logos.

PhotoCut automatically applies Person HD cutout for photos with people and Object HD cutout for photos with objects.

Manual Cutout

If you need extra precision or Assisted Cutout isn't available, you can use Manual Cutout. This option lets you manually remove and restore parts of your image without AI assistance for detecting object boundaries.
