Remove background for cut files
Background pixels create extra paths and messy outlines. Clean input leads to clean cutting output.
Symptoms
- Extra outlines around the image
- Cut files contain random shapes
- Weeding is difficult or impossible
Root causes
- Busy or textured backgrounds
- Low contrast between subject and background
- Compressed or blurry inputs
How Lumekon fixes it
- Normalizes images before vectorization
- Builds clean cut outlines from visible shapes
- Generates backing shapes for sticker workflows
Best input tips
- Use transparent PNGs when possible
- Isolate the subject before upload
- Keep edges sharp and contrast high
FAQ
Do I need to remove the background first?
It’s best. Clean inputs produce the best cut files.
Can Lumekon handle photos?
Yes, but photos work best with simple backgrounds and strong contrast.
Why do backgrounds create extra cuts?
Vectorization traces any visible pixels, including background noise.
