Best practices

For best results:

  • Use input images with resolutions above 1000 pixels on the longest side. Or enlarge them 2x or more with Claid’s built-in upscalers.
  • Use images where the products fills most of the frame.
  • Use clear, concise terms to describe the objects you want to keep (e.g., "shoe", "camera", "cookie").
  • For multiple objects, try processing in stages: use general removal first, then isolate specific items.
  • Experiment: the tool can give great result with general terms like "product", and descriptive nouns like "lotion" or "nail polish”.
  • When dealing with complex scenes, try using specific product names or categories. For example, "cosmetic product" should work well for isolating items in a beauty set.


 

Versatility for every industry

  • Cosmetics: Isolate products from beauty sets

 

  • Electronics: Highlight gadgets without distracting backgrounds 

 

  • Fashion: Showcase individual clothing items or accessories 

 

  • Food & Beverage: Create standardized ingredient shots

 

  • Jewelry: Remove backgrounds from intricate pieces

Guided Background Removal is a part of Claid.ai's comprehensive image editing suite. 

Use it in conjunction with our other features like AI background generation, image enhancement, and resizing to create stunning, ready-to-use product images in minutes.

 

Available via API

Guided Background Removal is accessible via our API, allowing integration into existing workflows and applications. The API's "selective" parameter specifies which objects to keep when removing backgrounds, enabling consistent results for large-scale image processing.

For implementation details, refer to our background removal documentation.

Current limitations

  • Works best with objects covering most of the canvas
  • May be less accurate with smaller products
  • Single-word prompts are most effective
  • The current implementation does not support comma-separated lists of concepts. Use single concepts, even if they're multiple words (e.g., "cosmetic product").

We're working on improvements, including support for multiple object types in prompts and better accuracy for smaller objects.
