Almost nothing ships on the background it was generated with. Characters get composited into new scenes, props land on UI panels, and marketing subjects move between layouts constantly. Manually masking each cutout—especially around hair, fur, glow effects, and soft edges—is slow, and sloppy cutouts announce themselves in every composite.
Remove Background on Layer isolates the subject cleanly in one step, for both images and video clips. The result is a transparent-ready asset—character, prop, or UI element—that drops into any composition without fringing or leftover pixels.
Key Capabilities
Clean Subject Detection Layer identifies the subject and separates it from the background automatically, handling difficult edges like hair, fur, and semi-transparent effects.
Transparent-Ready Output Cutouts come out ready for compositing—place characters on new scenes, props on UI panels, and subjects on any layout without cleanup passes.
Video Background Removal Isolate a moving subject from a video clip, not just a still. Composite animated characters and motion elements into new creatives.
Batch Processing Cut out an entire set of characters, items, or icons at once. Every editing tool on Layer works on single assets or in batches at scale.
Workflow Integration Run background removal as a node in a repeatable workflow—for example, generate a character set, remove backgrounds, and upscale in one pipeline.
How It Works
Select your asset Open any image or video clip in Layer—a fresh generation or an upload from your existing library.
Run background removal Layer detects the subject and removes everything else. No masks to paint, no edges to trace.
Refine and export Review the cutout, re-run if needed, and export your transparent-ready asset—or send it straight into another edit like upscaling or layer splitting.
Built for Game Production
Game Art Compositing Isolate generated characters and props so they can live anywhere—new environments, UI frames, card layouts—without inheriting the scene they were generated in.
UA Creative Variants Cut a hero character out once, then place it into dozens of ad backgrounds and layouts. Combined with batch processing, one subject fuels a whole campaign.
UI and In-Game Elements Turn generated items, icons, and collectibles into transparent assets ready for inventory screens, shops, and reward popups.
Marketing Assets Free key-art subjects from their backgrounds for store features, social cuts, and seasonal layouts—reusing approved characters instead of regenerating them.
Layer is trusted by 300+ game studios and entertainment brands, including Zynga, SciPlay, Huuuge Games, and Machine Zone. Remove Background turns any generation into a reusable building block for everything your team composites next.
