Inkurs uses high-resolution segmentation tuned on edge cases specific to books photography. Subject-specific challenges (texture, reflections, fine detail) are handled with the same precision as common cases.

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.
