What is clipping path or deep etch?

Also referred to as photo cut-out, deep etching service, or closed vector path, clipping path is a professional photo cut-out. Background Remove provides clipping path services and we draw the path by hand through a process that ensures high quality background removal of images, which works in a similar way as cutting the image out of a magazine using some scissors.

After the clipping path or deep etch is applied, all elements residing inside the path become part of the final cut, and all other parts residing outside are removed. One of the benefits of clipping path is that it makes it easy to manipulate the background of a subject and this comes in handy especially when creating images with white backgrounds that are ideal for ecommerce selling. The technology could also be useful when you want to display subjects in different contextual settings, something that enables you to use varying backgrounds for different scenes.

Here’s how  depending on the complexity of the product images at Background Remove.
