FAQ

Image Masking Service — questions

When do I need masking instead of clipping path?

Masking is for soft, fine or translucent edges — hair, fur, feathers and sheer fabric — where a clipping path can't cut cleanly.

Can you replace the background after masking?

Yes — we output transparent PNGs or composite onto new backgrounds.

Do you handle on-model hair masking?

Yes — flyaway hair and soft edges are a specialty.

Free trial?
