Why Use MiaoCut for Portraits

Strand-Level Hair Detail BiRefNet plus alpha matting preserves individual hair strands and flyaways. Long, curly, and frizzy hair come out clean — no grey halo.

Profile Backgrounds Built In Choose light gray, white, blue, gradient, custom color, transparent, or blurred original backgrounds after upload.

Avatar and Resume Sizes Export 512px and 1024px square avatars, circular profile pictures, or a 480×640 resume portrait.

Private, No Watermark Photos are processed in-memory, never used for AI training, and exported without watermarks.

Tips for the Cleanest Portrait Cutouts

Face the camera with even, front-facing lighting. Backlit photos make hair edges harder to separate.

Avoid backgrounds that match your hair or clothing color — that's where most AI tools blur the boundary.

For long, curly, or layered hair, switch to Fine (hair / fur) mode. The extra time is worth it.

Single-subject photos work best. Group shots are supported but tighter crops give cleaner results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will it handle long hair, curly hair, or flyaways properly?

Yes. Switch the quality toggle to "Fine (hair / fur)" mode. MiaoCut uses BiRefNet plus alpha matting to preserve individual hair strands and minimize the green/grey halo that simpler tools leave behind.

Can I make a LinkedIn or profile picture directly?

Yes. Choose a neutral or branded background, select a 512px or 1024px avatar size, and download either a square or circular profile picture.

Can I create a resume photo?

Yes. Use the resume portrait preset, choose a simple white or light gray background, and export a clean portrait for CVs and professional profiles.

Is my photo private and safe?

Yes. Photos are processed in-memory on the server and discarded immediately after the cutout is returned. We never store your image, never use it for AI training, and there is no signup required.

Does it work on group photos with multiple people?

Yes, but works best with a clear primary subject. For tight group shots where everyone is the foreground, all people are kept and the background is removed together.
