Image Studio

AI Background Removal

How to remove product backgrounds and place them on a clean colored background using the AI-powered Studio with fal.ai Qwen.

Remove backgrounds with AI

The Studio uses fal.ai Qwen Image Layered to intelligently separate your product from its background and place it on a clean, solid-color surface. Unlike basic cutout tools, this AI handles difficult cases like light products on light backgrounds with high accuracy.

1

Select the products to process

Go to the Products page. Check one or more product cards, then click "Studio" in the selection toolbar that appears at the top.

2

Configure the processing options

In the Studio panel, toggle the options you need:

  • Background removal -- Enable to strip the original background and replace it with a solid color.
  • Reframing -- Enable to automatically recenter and crop the product within the frame.

You can enable both at the same time or use them independently.

3

Choose aspect ratio and background color

Pick your target aspect ratio:

  • 1:1 -- Square, ideal for Shopify product grids.
  • 3:4 -- Portrait, great for tall products.
  • 4:3 -- Landscape, suited for wide items.

Then select a background color from the preset palette (white, light gray, beige, black, or custom).

4

Launch the processing

Click "Launch" to start. A progress bar shows real-time status as each image is processed. Processing time depends on the number of images in the batch.

5

Review the results

When processing completes, the validation panel opens automatically. You see a before/after comparison for every image. Nothing has been applied to your product cards yet.

For each image, click the checkmark to approve or the X to reject. Only approved images will replace the originals.
