Example library: real photos, unedited results, measured data

Every cutout below is ImgCutout's own output, with no manual retouching. For each one we list where the photo came from, the exact settings used, and what we measured, so you can judge the results and reproduce them.

How these were made. Each source photo was downloaded from Pexels at 1600 pixels wide and processed once with the ormbg model this site uses, at Balanced (16-bit) quality, with edge cleanup at “As detected” and no brush edits. The before and after images shown here share the same crop. Processing times and mask statistics come from our benchmark (Node.js v22.12.0, ONNX Runtime (native CPU) via Transformers.js, Apple M1 Pro, 10 cores, 32GB RAM, measured 2026-10-02); the browser is slower in absolute terms. See our test results for the method and full tables.

Portrait with curly hair

The curls keep their individual shape and a soft, partly transparent outline instead of a hard helmet edge. This is where the 8-bit default differs most from full precision: in the finest strands at the edge of the hair.

Product photo

The metal collar is solid while the glass body comes out partly transparent, so a new background shows through it. It looks natural on white, murky on black, and tinted on strong colors.

Pet photo

A short coat and a clear outline against grass make this an easy case: ears, legs, and paws separate cleanly, with few soft-edge pixels.

Home decor

Dozens of separate leaves create a long, complicated outline. The furniture and wall disappear while the gaps between leaves become transparent.

Profile picture

Wavy hair against a busy background. The largest subject of the six, and the largest PNG, because fine hair detail compresses poorly without loss.

Pet sticker

Fur on a similar-colored indoor background. The highest soft-edge share of the animal photos: the outline is fuzzy all the way around.
