FAQ
Does it work with hair and detailed edges?
Local mode works well for many simple portraits. For hair, fuzzy edges, or detailed scenes, cloud mode usually gives sharper edge quality and uses one credit per image.
Can I use it without uploading my photo?
Yes, free local mode processes the image in your browser. Cloud mode requires uploading the selected image for processing.
Can I use the result commercially?
You can use the output according to your rights in the source image and your applicable plan or workflow. BGFree does not grant rights to images you do not own.
