Frequently asked questions

Is AI background removal as good as Photoshop?

For most products with clean edges, AI matches or exceeds manual quality. Complex items like jewelry with fine detail may occasionally need touch-up.

When should I use Photoshop instead?

For extremely complex selections, heavy retouching, or when you need pixel-perfect control over every edge. Most sellers find AI sufficient.
