Features
Bria Remove Background
Bria Remove Background extracts clean subjects from images with a high-quality alpha matte. It’s fast, consistent, and production-ready for e-commerce listings, ad creatives, social posts, and compositing. The model is trained on licensed data, supporting safe, compliant commercial use.
Highlights
- Clean cutouts with detailed edges (hair, fur, semi-transparent areas).
- Alpha workflow: preserve or drop the alpha channel to match your pipeline.
Parameters
- 
image* (required) Source image (URL or upload). Missing image will fail. 
- 
preserve_alpha (checkbox) Keep the alpha channel in the returned asset for immediate compositing. 
Pricing
- Per run: $0.018
How to Use
- Upload/Paste image(required).
- Toggle preserve_alphaif you need a premultiplied cutout for direct compositing.
- Click Run to generate your cutout and download the result.
Output & Workflow Tips
- Post background: Place the cutout over solid color, gradient, or generated scenes (e.g., with Bria Background Generation).
- Edge finesse: For extremely fine hair or translucent fabric, a light feather/refine-edge pass can achieve pixel-perfect results.
- Consistent catalogs: Use identical lighting shots and batch the same settings for uniform store pages.
