What to send us
The photos, the file format your designer or platform needs, usually PNG, and the maximum size. Tell us if the cut-out will sit on dark as well as light backgrounds.
What you get back
Transparent PNG files cropped to the subject or to a canvas size you choose, with clean edges and no leftover background pixels, plus optional layered PSDs.
What to check before you sign off
Place the files on a black and a bright colored background. Stray pixels and pale fringes from the original background only show up when the backdrop changes.
