Before You Generate
- Write the goal in one sentence before you open the tool.
- Gather your real material first: facts, numbers, names and constraints.
- Decide what done looks like - length, format, tone and audience.
- Set aside five uninterrupted minutes; context switching costs more than the task.

Tip 5: Local processing - nothing uploaded

Mistakes to Avoid
- Feeding an image where subject and background share colours
- Expecting perfect hair detail from a low-contrast photo
- Placing the cutout on a same-tone background
- Skipping the edge review before publishing
A 10-Minute Practice Routine
- Two minutes: write the brief for a real task on your list.
- Three minutes: generate and read the result end to end.
- Four minutes: edit - real details in, generic lines out, opening rewritten.
- One minute: save the prompt and note one thing to change next time.
How to Know You Are Improving
Track edit time per result for two weeks. When it drops, your briefs are getting better. When it spikes, the cause is almost always a vague input - go back to the tip about writing the goal in one sentence.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it work on JPG photos?
Yes - detection works from the picture itself; the output is always a transparent PNG.
How good are the edges?
Clean on well-lit, high-contrast subjects; hair and fuzzy textures are always the hardest detail.
Can I remove only part of the background?
This tool removes all background at once - selective removal needs an editor.
Is my image uploaded?
No - removal runs entirely in your browser.
