At two in the morning, the party temporarily want a white background product picture, the computer PS is still spinning to update. In desperation, I remembered my friend's recommendation of BgSub - called “no upload, no cost, 5 seconds keying”. Holding a dead horse as a live horse doctor's mentality to try, the results of the accident by it from the hell of overtime to fish out. Is this tool worth trusting? Let me talk about the real experience from my heart.

First impression: zero threshold, but hiding a “little temper”

When you open the official website, it looks like a blog from ten years ago. There is no pop-up window bombing, did not force you to register, directly a big button says “open image”. I passed a picture of a vase with complex vines, and before I released the mouse, the progress bar had already finished. 5 seconds to key in the picture was no exaggeration, and the edges were so clean that I froze - is this really free?

However, I immediately found the groove: the web page loads like opening a blind box. The first time I used Chrome to open the card into a PPT, Edge instantly smooth. Only later did I realize that it was picking at the browser kernel, and the weak performance of the computer may also be automatically degraded picture quality.

Core features tested

Character keying: hairline precision? Seven points depends on luck

Enough for daily use: test selfie (the background is a messy bookshelf), a key to remove the hairline seams through the light naturally, the neckline folds were not mistakenly deleted. Changed a blue background as a resume photo without cracks.

Complex scene overturned: tried a girlfriend's wedding photo (veil stacked with a forest background), AI directly fill the holes in the leaves on the veil into a flesh-colored, manual repair, erase tool like a kindergarten crayon - a scratch a piece of the hair can not be fine-tuned.

E-commerce product picture: small object magic weapon, reflective material is the nemesis!

The handmade earrings (metal + pearl material), the background of the messy wood grain table. After keying the pearl edges rounded, metal hook details retained. Changed the gradient pink background, directly on the shelf.

But shoot the overturned car there: the reflection of the bottom of the glass was AI as a background cut, the foot of the cup is missing half. This type of map also have to go back to the PS to manually make up 8.

Background replacement: save time, but the color depends on the mood of the AI!

Love its automatic color mixing! Keying out the coffee cup with a morning background, the original gray wall of the cup automatically warm yellow, no PS mapping layer feeling.

There are also retarded moments: to the gray cat for the snow scene, the AI adjusted the cat's fur into a cold white, living like frozen. Turn off the color palette manually on, and found that the filter is pathetic - want to add a film grain? No way 5.

Document photo function: surprise hidden minefield

Can change the red, blue and white background, but the fatal injury is no crop preset! Exported pictures with excess white space, but also have to be dragged into other software to crop an inch. For people who need a photo ID in a hurry, it is only half a helper.

Shortcomings of BgSub

Privacy and security are double-edged swords: running locally without transferring images is indeed a peace of mind, but the fan spins so wildly when dealing with large files that the old laptop almost crashed.

Manual editing is like a toy: edges not picked correctly? That erase tool will either erase through the hole or leave a black edge. Want to adjust the feathering value? There's no such option.

Don't count on the video function: I tried to use the tutorials of Conch Video to do product animation (change background + rotate the display), and the export is like a PPT animation - lagging, color deviation, and no sense of smoothness. If you really want to do video, cut and screen are more reliable.

BgSub Applicable People

E-commerce small store owners: one day to deal with 50 pieces of commodity map, do not ask for artistic sense as long as the clean white background. It is cheaper than outsourcing and 10 times faster than manual keying.

Self-media drudgery: temporary to the article with a picture to change the background, 5 minutes to get done. The phrase “no worries about copyright” is more worrying.

Privacy anxiety: ID photos, contract pages and other sensitive pictures, preferring to slow down or not to pass the cloud people.

But professional designers can row away - it can not repair hair details, can not save the complexity of light and shadow, more like “emergency band-aid”!

BgSub in the past six months, it did not let me uninstall PS, but the late-night rush, the budget is at the end of the line, handicapped people have no way to help, it can really save the life. Its value is not in the “replacement of professional tools”, but to tear down the technical threshold of keying - like a friend handed scissors, may not be exquisite, but readily available.
