## FAQ

### Is Background Remover free? Do I need an account?

An account is required. New accounts receive 40 welcome credits valid for 7 days, and each run uses 1 credit. Free plans accept uploads up to 5 MB; paid plans accept up to 10 MB.

### How do I remove a background?

Upload an owned JPEG, PNG, or WebP, then select Remove background. Download the private transparent PNG or keep editing. Works in your browser on desktop and mobile — no install required.

### Can I use it as a transparent background maker?

Yes. Every cutout downloads as a PNG with a transparent background, ready to place on a listing, profile, slide, or ad. Continue in AI Photo Editor when you want a new background instead of transparency.

### Is there a watermark on the result?

Free Plan cutouts include a visible MixVio watermark. Cutouts keep the source dimensions. Paid plan exports do not add a MixVio plan watermark.

### What formats and size are supported?

Upload owned JPEG, PNG, or WebP images. The Free plan accepts up to 5 MB; paid plans accept up to 10 MB. You get a private PNG with an alpha channel. Aspect ratio stays with the source.

### How do credits work?

Every run costs 1 credit, reserved before submission. Failed or cancelled tasks release the reservation. Upgrade to continue when your balance reaches zero.

### Can I change or replace the background?

Background Remover returns a private transparent PNG cutout. To replace the background or make other one-change edits, continue in AI Photo Editor after the cutout. Use Image to Image when you want a broader restyle.

### Are uploads and results private?

Yes. Inputs and outputs remain private workspace assets. Signed URLs and asset IDs are not added to public page URLs or analytics.

### Which edges still need review?

Use Hair & portrait mode for hair, fur, and soft edges; glass, smoke, translucent materials, and mesh still need review. Always inspect the private cutout before publishing.

### Can I remove backgrounds from multiple images at once?

Not yet. The current public tool accepts one image per task. Run another cutout when you need the next subject.

### How fast is Background Remover?

Cutouts typically complete quickly, though queue time varies with demand. Preview a sample first, then upload when you are ready.

### How does this relate to Image to Image and Image Upscaler?

Background Remover prepares a transparent subject. AI Photo Editor is the next step for one local content change. Image to Image handles a broader restyle. Image Upscaler enhances resolution after the creative content is set.
