Start with the right photo

Better source photos produce cleaner edges. These simple checks help before you upload.

  • Create clear separation

    A subject that contrasts with the background is easier to identify cleanly.

  • Use even lighting

    Good light preserves hair, fur and small edge details without heavy shadows.

  • Keep the subject in frame

    Use a sharp image where the full subject is visible and not covered by other objects.
