Is it free? Is there a watermark?

Filvo does not add a watermark on the preview or the original HD file. Guests and unpaid accounts can run 2 tests per day with no card. The first Google sign-in adds 2 credits. Original HD spends 1 credit.

Can I change the background after removal?

Yes. After the cutout you can keep the transparency, fill a solid color, or place a photo behind the subject before you save. The checkerboard is only a preview of the removed area. The PNG keeps the subject separate, so you can change the backdrop again later.

What types of images work best?

Portraits, products, animals, cars, and logos work when the subject is clearly in front of the scene. Hair, fur, glass, and a backdrop that matches the subject color are harder — the edge can include a halo or drop a strand. Check the checkerboard before you save, and start from the largest original you have.

Are my images stored?

The file goes through Filvo’s API only to generate the cutout. It is not added to a public gallery, and Filvo does not keep a personal photo library of your uploads. Browser tools elsewhere on the site, such as compress and PDF merge, stay on your device.

What is the difference between the web preview and original HD?

The web preview caps the long edge at 384 pixels so you can judge the edge before you keep the full file. Original HD is the cutout at the size you uploaded, and it uses credits. Sign in with Google for 2 credits, then buy more on the pricing page if you need additional full-resolution exports. Neither file includes a Filvo watermark.

When should I look at the edge again?

Look again when hair, fur, or a thin strap blends into the background, or when the subject and the backdrop are almost the same color. Glass and semi-transparent fabric often keep a faint rim. A busy shelf behind a product is harder than a plain wall. If the edge is wrong, start from a larger, sharper original rather than expecting the cutout to invent detail that was never in the file.

A background remover isolates the subject and leaves the rest transparent. Filvo returns a PNG you can place on white, a brand color, or another photo. This is a cutout, not a blur, a crop, or a manual trace.

How the cutout works

The model finds the subject — a person, a product, a logo, an animal — and separates it from the room, table, or sky behind it. The export is that subject with an alpha channel, so the old background is gone rather than painted over. A shoe on a plain wall usually cuts cleanly. Hair against a busy street is harder, because the edge is a decision about which pixels belong to the subject.

Upload a JPG, JPEG, PNG, or WEBP. The file is sent through Filvo’s API only to generate the cutout. There is no public gallery and no personal photo library. Saved files do not carry a Filvo watermark on the web preview or on the original HD file.

What you can do with the result

Keep the transparency if you will composite later. Or fill a solid color for a marketplace listing, or drop a photo behind the subject before you save. The checkerboard in the preview is not part of the file. It only shows where the background was removed.

Sellers use this for a catalog shot that should sit on white. Designers lift a logo off a photograph. Creators cut a portrait for a thumbnail. Start from the largest original you have. A small, soft file gives the model less edge to follow.

Where the edge is hard

Hair, fur, and a thin strap against a similar color often need a closer look. Glass, smoke, and semi-transparent fabric can keep a faint rim or lose a highlight. A product on a shelf of similar items is harder than the same product on an empty table.

Check the checkerboard, then the color or photo backdrop, before you save. If the rim is wrong, a sharper original usually helps more than running the same small file again. The cutout cannot invent strands or a logo edge that were never in the photo.

Preview, HD, and the next step

The web export is a preview. Its long edge is capped at 384 pixels so you can judge the edge before you keep the full file. Original HD uses credits. You can run 2 tests per day with no card. Sign in with Google for 2 credits, then buy credits if you need more full-resolution exports.

After the cutout, compress the PNG, resize it, enlarge it if the source was small, or erase a stray mark first if the subject is not the only thing in the frame.

Cut a whole catalog in one sitting

Drop product shots, portraits, or cars and save a transparent PNG — no watermark.

A credit pack queues up to 25 images in one studio session. After the cutout, compress or enlarge without leaving Filvo.
