Background Removal

The bg-remove option automatically removes the background from your images. Use it for product photos, portraits, or any image where you want a transparent (or clean) background.

bg-remove accepts true or 1 as the value. You can combine it with any operation (e.g. width, cover) and other options.

Details

  • The output format is PNG so that transparency is preserved. If you request another format, ImageBoss will use a format that supports transparency where possible.
  • Background removal works best on images with a clear subject and a distinct background.
  • Combine with trim to remove excess transparent edges after removal.
