Background-removed cutout

Display examples show transparency and soft shadow. Choose a transparent WebP with Sema; inspect shadows and soft edges before use.

Sema will tell you what she needs, look at what you send, and show you the price before anything is made.

Transparent cutout or a scene? Choose with Sema. A cutout is a transparent WebP, with no cutout surcharge. Low quality, square, one reference: 3 credits. Sema quotes other settings before you approve. Cutouts are display examples, not your inputs. This is not perfect background removal; inspect shadows and soft edges before sharing.

Prompt for this example

Make a background-removal cutout of the exact speckled cream ceramic mug in [your product photo]: the same mug isolated on a fully transparent background with its entire surroundings removed, not white, not colored and no checkerboard pattern. Keep the mug's soft contact shadow as a semi-transparent black shadow, darkest where the mug meets the surface and fading outward until fully transparent. Place the mug and its shadow fully inside a square 1:1 frame with a clear margin and nothing cropped. The mug is unchanged: same speckled glaze, same tall rounded shape with the bowl clearly taller than wide, same narrow proportions, same slightly elevated angle showing a sliver of coffee inside the rim, same handle on the right; do not widen or squat the bowl. Reproduce the side stamp exactly, character for character: [your brand name] in small dark brown capitals. No new text, no watermark.

Background-removed cutout

Background-removed cutout: isolate the exact item from the product photo on a fully transparent background, whole and uncropped, keeping every label character, logo, silhouette, color and proportion, with its natural contact shadow kept as a soft semi-transparent shadow. No recoloring, no invented branding or claims, no drawn or fake transparency pattern.

Tool prompt

One photographic presentation of the exact item in [your product photo]: the same single object in one uninterrupted frame, in [the presentation you want: catalogue, lifestyle or social, and which shape; by default a square 1:1 catalogue frame on a seamless white background with the whole item and a comfortable margin]. The photo is the only authority for the item: reproduce every visible label character, punctuation mark and logo exactly as placed, with the same silhouette, proportions, color, material, closures and construction, and no invented branding, certification, ingredient, accessory or packaging. Light may change shading and reflections, never the item's intrinsic color, and the viewing angle stays the one in the photo. Keep the item whole: nothing cropped, covered or redrawn. Setting: [describe a setting, or leave it open for the seamless background]. If you show a reference scene, take only its setting and light direction, never its products, branding or claims. Finish as realistic product photography with one coherent light, a true contact shadow and restrained depth of field, and add no text, watermark or seal of your own.

Works with any AI art generator.

When to use this tool

Your product exists but the photos do not do it justice. Put one actual item into a clean catalog frame, a lifestyle scene or a social format for visual discovery, without a reshoot. The cutouts shown here are display examples of the look, never your inputs. Choose a transparent cutout or a scene with Sema. Selling candles? The candle campaign option restages your candle into a seasonal or editorial campaign shot for a shop page or a seasonal push. If you searched for AI product photos or product photography without a studio, this is that tool.

What you get

One AI-made photographic image of your item in the agreed setting: an opaque JPEG for a scene or a transparent WebP for a cutout; square 1:1 catalog by default, 4:3 or 3:4 lifestyle, 1:1 or 9:16 social. Labels, logos and colors are guided by your photo; inspect them, shadows and soft edges before use. Cutouts have no surcharge; Sema quotes your settings before approval.

How it works

Upload one clear photo of your product.
Tell Sema the use and shape: catalog, lifestyle or social.
Confirm the plan and price, then receive your new product picture.

Tips for the best photo

Shoot the item straight on in even light, label facing the camera.
Keep the whole product in frame: nothing cropped, nothing covering the label.

Questions

Can you redesign my label or packaging?

No. This tool changes the setting and light, never the item. Label text, logos, colors and shape are guided by your photo, but inspect the AI result before use; preservation is not a pixel-exact guarantee.

Can you remove the background from my product photo?

A cutout isolates an item from the background. The cutouts on this page are display examples of what the look can produce: alpha WebP images with the contact shadow kept as a soft semi-transparent shadow. Choose a scene as an opaque JPEG or a cutout as a transparent WebP. Inspect the shadows and soft edges on white, gray, teal and dark. Inspect labels, logos and construction before using your result.

Is this a real studio photograph?

No. It is an AI-made presentation of your actual product. Inspect labels and logos in the result before any commercial use.

Can you photograph candles for my shop or a seasonal campaign?

Yes. Pick the candle campaign option and send one clear photo of your candle; Sema aims to keep the vessel, label, wick count, wax and flame state while changing the setting. Inspect those details before use. The result is digital artwork, not proof of scent or safety, and this tool does not redesign your label.

Which photos are suitable?

Send one sharp photo of the actual item, whole and uncovered, with true color and readable label text and logos. Sema declines blur, branding glare, cropped edges, ambiguous multiple items, filters and lookalike substitutes rather than reconstructing missing details. Describe the use and shape; an optional scene image guides only the background. Unseen reverse views, jewelry, exact-artwork mockups and people modeling products are outside this tool.

What does it cost?

Planning with Sema is free. One square 1:1 image with one product reference costs 3 credits at the standard quality tier. A scene image adds another paid reference; another shape or quality can change the price. Sema shows the exact cost for your approval before generation, and another version costs further credits.

Can I download my result?

Yes. You can download your finished image from your account. For a cutout, Download transparent WebP keeps the original alpha file unchanged. It is a raster image, not packaging artwork, a measured product photograph or a marketplace-compliance guarantee.

Can I revise the result?

Ask Sema what to change and approve a new quote before another generation. A revision uses the result as a paid reference and is not a free manual retouch. This tool changes presentation, not the product; inspect the labels, logo and construction again.

How is my content handled?

Job uploads are deleted after completion, success or failure. Photos attached to Sema are kept while that conversation exists so you can resume it, and released when you detach them or delete the conversation. Private results are stored for your gallery and recovery. Private images and personal uploads are not used to train models; OpenAI processes your prompt and source images to make the result.

Candle campaign for the exact candle in [your product photo]: a summer editorial shop campaign, one uninterrupted square 1:1 photograph. Scene: a bare pale powder-blue plaster platform against a pale-blue plaster wall, crisp early-morning summer sunlight from the upper left with a clean diagonal architectural shadow on the distant wall, a fresh mineral-rain mood in a cobalt, peach and blue palette. Show no ingredients and make no scent claims. Change only the surroundings, lighting and framing; keep the source viewing angle and the whole candle and lid uncropped with a comfortable margin. Preserve the squat square frosted cobalt-blue glass vessel exactly (silhouette, straight walls, rounded corners, thick base, proportions, material, color), the flat square cobalt glass lid lying to the right in the same position and gap, the pale peach wax color and fill level below the rim, exactly two short cotton wicks in the same positions and lengths, both unlit with no flame or smoke, and the white rectangular front label at the same size and placement with [your brand name] in the same black uppercase lettering and spacing. No redesign, extra label text, claims, packaging, seals, accessories or overlays, and nothing covering the label. Realistic restrained campaign product photography with one coherent sunlight direction, plausible contact shadows, controlled reflections that never recolor the product, and restrained depth of field.

Candle campaign for the exact candle in [your product photo]: an autumn sculptural editorial shop campaign, one uninterrupted square 1:1 photograph. Scene: an empty cool gray gallery alcove with the candle on a pale gray honed limestone block and a softly blurred slate-blue wall behind, one broad neutral-cool softbox from the upper left making a refined sculptural highlight and a natural contact shadow, a quiet autumn mood in a lavender, burgundy and slate palette. Show no ingredients and make no scent claims. Change only the setting, light and framing; keep the front-facing, slightly elevated view and never reveal unseen sides, with the whole vessel and flame uncropped and restrained depth of field. Preserve the tall six-sided glossy muted lavender porcelain cup exactly (flat front and angled side faces, straight corners, rim, height-to-width ratio, material, color), with no lid, handle or foot added. Preserve the deep burgundy wax color, fill level and melted pool, and exactly one centered cotton wick with its one steady flame kept lit. Preserve the white rectangular paper label at the same size and position with [your brand name] in the same black uppercase sans-serif lettering, character for character. No redesign, recoloring, scent or seasonal props, packaging, additional products, seals, watermarks or overlays, and nothing covering the label. Realistic restrained campaign photography with one coherent light and a true contact shadow.

Candle campaign

Candle campaign: present the exact candle from the product photo as a seasonal or editorial campaign photograph. Preserve the vessel shape and material, every label character and the logo, the lid state and position, the wick count and positions, the wax color and fill level, and the flame state: lit stays lit, unlit stays unlit. No ingredient props that change the product claim, no invented scent claims; seasonal props like pine, cinnamon sticks or ribbon only if you ask for them, never covering the label. Season, mood and brand palette come from the presentation you describe.
