- AI Background Remover: Precision and Flexibility
Background removal — most time-intensive task. AI Background Remover offers two modes for ideal result:
- AI-Automation: Tool instantly separates product from complex background and replaces it with pure white (RGB 255). It’s ideal for batch processing.
- Innovative Manual Mode: In difficult cases (glass, hair, fur) user can quickly outline area. AI-logic instantly refines borders. This ensures manual precision with automatic speed.
- Photography: Preparation for Automation
Correct photography significantly simplifies AI work and guarantees moderation passage:
- Light: Use uniform, diffused light (soft boxes). Shadows must be minimal and soft.
- Background during shooting: Use contrasting background (light Gray, blue) for clear separation from product.
- Framing: Entire object must be in frame.
- Batch Mode: Speed of Batch Picture Resizer
After background removal, Batch Picture Resizer prepares entire archive:
- Mass Resizing: Setting exact dimensions (1000×1000 px or 2000×2000 px).
- Optimization and Format: Conversion to JPEG with optimal compression for fast loading and conversion.
- Command Line: For work with thousands of images (e.g., full catalogue update) support command line is available. This allows integrate processing into existing media-systems and execute tasks in fully automatic mode.
Command Example: Resizer.exe /source:C:\Input\ /target:C:\Output\ /resize:1200×1200 /format:JPEG /quality:90 — this command automatically takes all files from the Input folder, resizes them to 1200×1200 pixels, converts them to JPEG with 90% quality, and saves them to the Output folder.
