## Questions

### Is the Background Remover free?

Yes. The selection and brush tools are free without an account; AI Select Subject and Object Selection need a free account.

### How is it different from one-click background removers?

One-click tools guess and leave you stuck with the result. Here AI makes the first selection and you can fix every edge with real selection tools and a Refine Edge brush for hair, like Photoshop's Select and Mask.

### Can I use the cutout for DTF printing?

Yes. Apply it to a design in any 3dawg builder, prep it in the Halftoner or put it straight on a gang sheet.
