## Steps

2. Run them through Kenerate free — Sign up for 25 free credits and use Cutout, or Cutout HD for fine edges. Object Pick keeps just one item.
3. Compare with Fotor — Put both results on a dark background and zoom to 200%. Look at hair, glass and small gaps.
4. Switch when you're happy — Keep using Fotor for designs if you like it — just bring hard cut-outs to Kenerate and upload the PNG.

## In depth

### Who makes Fotor
Fotor is made by Everimaging, founded in 2009; Fotor launched in 2012, alongside products such as HDR Darkroom, GoArt and Clipfly [1].

### What Fotor's remover is built for
Fotor's background remover handles up to 50 images per batch and files up to 60 MB and 8192 × 8192 px, with an API; Fotor says it has removed over 1.5 billion backgrounds [2]. It fits people who want removal inside an all-in-one design editor.

### How to compare Fotor and Kenerate fairly
Background removers mostly differ at the edges. Every edge pixel mixes subject and background colour, so hair, fur, lace and glass are where tools disagree [3]. Run the same three to five hard photos through Fotor and Kenerate's Cutout HD, then place each result on a dark background and zoom to 200% — thin halos show up there first, often from how a tool handles semi-transparent edge pixels [4].
Then check whether you need extras such as an API, batch processing or a desktop app.
