Background removal and replacement

Remove backgrounds from portrait, product, and composite photos with precision. Deliver clean cutouts for any downstream use — white studio backgrounds for e-commerce, custom environments for editorial, or transparent PNGs for design use.

I have 120 product photos that all need backgrounds removed. They're shot against a grey seamless but some have shadow spill. Can you process them and deliver clean white background versions?

Processed all 120 images. Background removed with shadow correction applied. 114 images delivered as clean white background JPGs. 6 images flagged: 3 with complex reflective surfaces (glass bottles), 3 with fine detail edge challenges (mesh fabric). All 6 isolated for manual review.

Image upscaling for high-resolution delivery

Upscale low-resolution originals for large format print, digital billboards, and editorial use without the typical pixelation and sharpening artifacts of traditional interpolation. Preserve natural grain and texture at larger sizes.

I need to upscale 8 photos from a 2010 DSLR (10MP each) to large format print at 40x60 inches, 300 DPI. The client wants natural-looking results, not over-processed.

All 8 images upscaled to 18000x12000px (300 DPI at 60x40"). AI reconstruction mode preserves grain and texture without artificial sharpening. Skin tones maintained, background detail reconstructed naturally. 7 images ready for final delivery. 1 flagged (severely underexposed original — noise amplified at this scale).

Photo restoration for archives and family clients

Restore damaged, faded, and torn photographs to their original quality. Serve family clients with cherished old photos, archives that need digitization, and editorial clients with historical imagery.

Restore this 1950s photo of a client's grandparents. There's a vertical tear through the left side, heavy yellowing, and dust specks across the whole image.

Restoration complete: tear digitally repaired with content-aware fill matching original tonal range, yellowing corrected with period-appropriate color calibration, 340+ dust specks removed. Subtle film grain preserved for authenticity. Both color-corrected and original sepia-tone versions delivered.

Portrait retouching and makeup application

Apply consistent, professional retouching across portrait batches. Use AI makeup to standardize looks across headshot collections, or create multiple beauty looks for editorial clients without lengthy manual Photoshop work.

Apply natural, polished makeup to these 15 corporate headshots — the executives all look different but I need a consistent professional look across the series.

Makeup applied across all 15 headshots with consistent but face-appropriate treatment: even skin tone, subtle definition, natural lip. Consistent color palette used across the series. Each image individually calibrated for skin tone so no two look identically processed. Batch delivered.

Professional portrait generation from casual photos

Create polished professional portraits for LinkedIn, corporate directories, and websites from casual photos. Deliver headshot quality results when clients can't afford a photoshoot or only have smartphone photos available.

My client needs LinkedIn headshots but only has three smartphone photos from different lighting conditions. Generate a professional portrait suitable for a director-level executive's LinkedIn profile.

Generated professional portrait: clean neutral background, even studio-style lighting, formal but approachable expression. Facial consistency maintained across source photos. Clothing refined to professional business attire. Three variations with slight pose and crop differences delivered.

Take this product photo of a perfume bottle and generate 4 lifestyle scene variations: luxury bathroom, outdoor garden, fashion editorial, and minimalist studio shelf.

Generated 4 product lifestyle shots: luxury marble bathroom with soft back-lighting, outdoor garden with natural bokeh, high-fashion editorial with dramatic shadows, and clean minimalist shelf with geometric shadows. All 4 maintain product label legibility and correct proportions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does AI photo restoration compare to manual Photoshop retouching?

For common damage types — scratches, tears, and fading — Photo Restore matches or exceeds manual retouching quality in much less time. Complex damage requiring creative reconstruction (missing faces, severely torn sections) still benefits from manual oversight after the AI restoration pass.

Can AI upscaling match the output of professional upscaling software like Topaz Gigapixel?

Image Upscale produces comparable results to Topaz Gigapixel for most content types. Portraits and landscapes typically upscale very well. Heavily compressed source files with JPEG artifacts upscale with more variation in quality. For mission-critical print production, running a test crop at full size before committing to the full batch is recommended.

How many images can I process in a single background removal batch?

Background Removal supports batch processing. For very large batches (500+ images), breaking into smaller batches of 50–100 is recommended for quality review checkpoints. Processing time scales linearly with image count and resolution.

Can AI makeup retouching be adjusted to different levels of intensity?

Yes — AI Makeup supports different looks with varying intensity. Corporate and natural looks apply minimal changes, while editorial looks apply more dramatic adjustments. You can specify the exact look style in your request, and the tool applies it consistently across batch portrait sets.

Can portrait photo generation work when the source photos have very different lighting conditions?

Portrait Photo is designed to handle inconsistent input photos and generate a consistent final portrait. Strong backlighting or very low-light sources reduce quality. Best results come from having at least one front-lit source photo in the input set, even if others are casually taken.
