How to Remove Image Backgrounds With AI (Transparent PNG)

Removing a background cleanly is one of the most common image tasks. This guide shows how to get a true transparent PNG with AI using Recraft Remove Background on forvideo.ai.


Step 1 - Upload a clear image
Recraft Remove Background works best on images with a defined subject. Higher resolution gives cleaner edges.
Step 2 - Generate the cutout
Run the removal. The model returns a real alpha-channel transparent PNG - not a white fill - so you can drop the subject onto any background.
Step 3 - Check the edges
Inspect hair, fur and thin details. If edges look rough, try a cleaner source image with more subject-background contrast.
Step 4 - Composite
Place the transparent PNG over a new background, a solid color, or a generated scene for product shots.
Common uses
- E-commerce product cutouts.
- Profile and team photos.
- Compositing subjects into new scenes.
