Background removal parameter practices
Control output mainly through parameters.
Practice 1: Output transparent background
Set format to png and background_type to rgba.
- Transparent backgrounds are ideal for compositing
- PNG output is more stable
Practice 2: Control edge softness
Use threshold to control hard cutout threshold.
- threshold=0 uses soft alpha
- Higher thresholds produce harder edges
Practice 3: Reverse removal
Set reverse=true to remove the foreground.
- Useful when you only want the background
- Good for reverse cutouts
Practice 4: Replace background
background_type can be solid, blur, overlay, or a custom background image.
- Presets: white/green/blur/overlay
- You can also pass a background image URL
