Frequently Asked Questions

Can the AI remove backgrounds with complex patterned wallpapers?

Yes. The neural matting model relies on depth estimation and object semantic understanding rather than simple color range keys, allowing it to segment items even against busy backgrounds.

What if my product has shadows cast on the wall?

The AI automatically eliminates cast shadows from the background while generating realistic contact shadows directly beneath the product base.

Can I fix batch photos shot in different locations?

Yes. Uploading a batch to CropStudio standardizes the background color, scale, and lighting across all photos for a cohesive catalog look.
