Batch Processing & Exporting

Removing one background is easy. Removing forty for a product drop, a portrait session, or a catalogue is a workflow — and it runs entirely in your browser, no upload and no per-image charge. Here is how to do a batch cleanly and get everything back out at once.

How the queue works

Drop in up to 20 images at a time and they line up in a queue and process one after another. Because everything runs on your own device, the cap keeps memory sane — a browser tab has a finite budget, and twenty full-resolution images is a comfortable batch that will not exhaust it. For a catalogue of hundreds, work in batches of twenty: process, download, clear, repeat.

Each image is handled independently, so one difficult photo will not stall the rest. You can watch progress per item, and you can cancel and restart at any point without refreshing the page — the current job stops immediately and the next queued item starts on its own.

Consistency is a capture decision, not an edit

The single biggest lever on a good batch is shooting it consistently. Photograph the whole set with the same background, the same lighting, and the same framing, and the model treats them alike — you get a uniform set of cutouts with no per-image fiddling. A mixed bag of lighting and backdrops produces a mixed bag of results, and you will spend the time you saved on the queue cleaning up individually instead. A cheap foam board and a window does more for batch consistency than any setting.

Choosing an export format

Export as PNG when you need transparency preserved — cutouts, logos, anything going onto a new background. Export as JPG (which composites onto a solid colour) when the destination wants an opaque image and file size matters, such as marketplace listings that require a white background. WebP and AVIFkeep transparency at a fraction of PNG’s size for web use. The format guide lays out the trade-offs, and the file size guide covers balancing quality against weight.

Getting everything back at once

When a batch finishes, download all as a ZIP in one click rather than saving each file by hand. Exports follow a predictable {original-name}-nobg.{ext} naming pattern, so the files stay matched to their sources — handy when you are bulk-importing to a store or handing a folder to a retoucher. Rename to your own convention afterwards if a client expects something specific.

Mixing quality modes in a batch

Most batches are all one kind of subject, so pick the mode that suits them — Fast for hard-edged products, Best Quality for anything with hair or fur — and run the whole set on it. If a handful of images come out wrong, you do not have to redo the batch: pull just those into the editor, re-run or refine them individually, and export the fixed ones.

Beyond background removal

The same batch approach applies to the other tools. You can queue several images through the upscaler, and the video tools process clips one at a time with the same cancel-and-continue behaviour. The principle is constant: work in device-friendly batches, keep your inputs consistent, and export everything together.
