Can I convert a photo or selfie?

Yes. Clear photos and selfies work when the subject is easy to see. Anime illustrations usually come out better.
How do credits work?

1 credit = 1 generated image. Credits come from sign-up, credit packs, or a monthly plan. If a generation fails, that credit comes back. Free browser tools never use credits.
Can I remove a background?

Yes. Remove Background cuts the subject to a transparent PNG in your browser. It is free, up to 10MB, and the image stays on your device.

Anime art, character illustrations, and screenshots with a clear subject. Busy photos with a small or blurry subject are harder.
