— Common questions

FAQ.

What's the best source photo for a artwork cutout?
Inkurs handles artwork photos shot in most conditions — studio lighting, daylight, indoor, or outdoor. Even, diffuse light produces the cleanest cutout. Avoid harsh shadows across the subject for the best edges.
How does inkurs handle the hardest artwork cases?
Inkurs uses high-resolution segmentation tuned on edge cases specific to artwork photography. Subject-specific challenges (texture, reflections, fine detail) are handled with the same precision as common cases.
What output format and resolution do I get?
Transparent PNG with proper alpha channel by default, up to 4096×4096 pixels free. WEBP output also available. Both work in any design tool, ecommerce platform, or content management system.
Will it work for commercial use?
Yes — output is yours to use commercially, including for marketplace listings, brand campaigns, client work, or sponsored content. The free tier and Pro both allow commercial use without restrictions.
Can I process multiple images at once?
Single uploads stay free with no daily limit. Batch upload (up to 50 images per request) and API access arrive with Pro at $3/month. Pro waitlist →
