Export a background cutout at up to 4K

Published

The 4K export option lets Hawaf BG save a cutout with up to 4096 pixels on its longest side. The final dimensions also depend on the original image, the frame you choose and a pixel limit that protects device memory.

Set resolution and read the exported dimensions

  1. Choose a sharp source file that is large enough for your project. Start with the Original frame if you need to preserve the photo’s proportions.
  2. After removal, choose 4096 px (4K) under download resolution. Read the dimensions shown in the editor before saving. A 2000 × 1500 px original in its original frame remains 2000 × 1500 px.
  3. Download the result and open its file information. For a transparent cutout, check the PNG at the size it will appear in your design and inspect the edges around fine details.

When 4K gives a smaller file than expected

A 4500 × 4500 square reaches the 12-megapixel export cap before both sides reach 4096. Expect a square around 3464 × 3464 px in the Original frame. A wide source can reach a 4096 px longest side with fewer total pixels.

Choose resolution for the intended layout

A product displayed at 800 pixels wide may work with a 1024-pixel export. If you need a larger slide or print, compare its requirements with the source. Repair pale edges before adding pixels. If a high-resolution export stalls on a phone, try 2048 px and recheck the downloaded dimensions.
