Remove the background on your iPhone

Choose a product photo and separate the subject from its original surroundings. Use the result as the starting point for a new composition.

What you can adjust

  • Standard quality
  • Pro High Quality
  • Preview the result

Studio offers Standard mode and Pro High Quality. Processing stays on your device. After the automatic result, choose a background, inspect the edges and refine them manually if needed. Glass, fine hairs and similar colors can need extra attention.

For example

Photograph an item at home, remove the room around it and prepare a clean image for a listing.

White, color, gradient or your own photo

The same item can look precise on white or expressive in its own scene. Choose the setting that suits the product.

What you can adjust

  • Transparency and basic colors
  • Pro custom color and gradient
  • Pro photo backgrounds

Start with transparency and basic colors. Pro unlocks a custom color, a two-color gradient with direction, and photo backgrounds. Move, scale and rotate a photo background independently while the product stays where you placed it.

For example

Use white for the main listing image and a gentle color or photo background for a collection image.

Three shadow styles, with controls

Pro

A shadow connects a cutout to its new background. Pro includes Soft, Directional and Under product shadows.

What you can adjust

  • Soft / Directional / Under product
  • Intensity and softness
  • Distance and direction

Adjust intensity, softness and distance. Directional shadows also have an angle control. Under product creates a diffuse base; the other styles give a different sense of lighting. Match the strength to the object and background.

For example

A bag can use a restrained shadow beneath its base; a directional shadow creates a more expressive composition.

Refine the edges yourself

Pro

If automatic selection misses a detail or leaves some background, use Pro’s Edges controls to correct the result.

What you can adjust

  • Erase and restore
  • Smoothing and feathering
  • Edge expansion

Erase unwanted areas or restore parts of the product. Smoothing, feathering and edge expansion offer further control. Zoom in and work on the particular area: a soft edge and a precise outline suit different subjects.

For example

Erase a leftover patch between bag handles or restore an accidentally removed edge.

Control the product, background and text separately

Choose a layer through Elements, or select the product or text on the canvas. The outline shows what you are editing.

What you can adjust

  • Move on the canvas
  • Scale
  • Rotate each element

Move the selected element directly on the image. Scale and rotate with gestures, or use the rotation handle. Product, photo background and text keep independent positions. Choose the background explicitly through Elements when needed. A misplaced transformation can be undone.

For example

Move the product aside, rotate it slightly and leave room for a headline.

JPEG or transparent PNG from Studio

Save the finished composition for a listing or export a transparent object for later use. There is no ItemShot watermark.

What you can adjust

  • JPEG and PNG
  • Transparent background
  • Standard or full resolution

JPEG suits a photo with a background; PNG also supports transparency. Free includes 10 Standard exports per calendar month, up to 2048 pixels on the longest side. Pro adds full-resolution output and removes the Standard export quota. Save the result to Photos, copy it to the clipboard or send it to Files and other apps through the system share sheet.

For example

Export a shop photo and keep a separate PNG for a future layout.

Good questions. Clear answers.

Can I export a transparent background?

Yes. Studio exports transparent PNG. Free Standard exports are limited to 10 per calendar month and 2048 pixels on the longest side; Pro adds full-resolution output.

Does background removal upload my photo?

No. Photo processing takes place on your iPhone, not on ItemShot servers.

Which parts are free?

Studio includes 10 Standard exports per calendar month at up to 2048 pixels. Single-photo Tools editing, saving and export have no monthly quota. Pro adds full-resolution Studio output, advanced editing, batches and saved settings.

Which formats can I export?

Studio exports JPEG and PNG, including transparent PNG. Tools converts between JPEG, PNG, HEIC and WebP. Outputs are re-encoded in SDR.
