Fast mode (best for speed)

Fast mode is ideal for:

Products on simple backgrounds
Clear contrast images
Bulk processing where speed matters

Quality mode (best for complex edges)

Quality mode is best for:

Hair and fur
Semi-transparent details (like veils or fine edges)
Busy backgrounds where edges are harder

Which one should you use? (simple rule)

A simple rule:

Use **Fast** for most product photos
Use **Quality** when edges matter (portraits, hair, complex objects)

How to improve results in either mode

Start with higher resolution images
Avoid motion blur
Crop closer to the subject if it’s small in the frame

Credit systems (common model)

Many apps price compute like:

Fast = 1 credit/image
Quality = 2 credits/image
