About This Tool

Purpose-built for precise region selection, this tool accepts a base image and a user-drawn lasso path to produce a closed mask. Conceptually, the path defines a ROI that is rasterized into pixels and refined with edge controls. It supports both a binary mask export and a masked image output for direct editing workflows. Target users include photographers, designers, and post-production teams handling compositing, retouching, and selective color adjustments. Unique value lies in path-based precision, automatic path closure, and adjustable feathering alongside a clean export path that integrates with standard image pipelines. Core features include vector-to-raster conversion, edge smoothing, and multi-output support that aligns with common professional workflows. The tool is designed for one-region per run but can be chained for batch processing across image sets. Use cases range from complex subjects with soft hair edges to hard-edged subjects that require exact contours.

How to Use

  1. Upload the source image and provide a lasso path that encircles the target region.
  2. Set feathering radius and optional smoothing to control edge softness and stability.
  3. Choose output type (mask PNG or masked image) and export format.
  4. Run the tool to generate the mask and the chosen outputs.
  5. Review the results and adjust parameters if needed before final export.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find Quick Answers

What input formats are supported and how is the lasso path specified?
Supported input formats include JPEG, PNG, and WEBP. The lasso path can be provided as an SVG-like path string or a list of coordinates that forms a closed region. If the path is not closed, the system closes it automatically and uses the resulting polygon to generate the mask.
Can I reuse a mask across multiple images?
Yes. Save the mask and reapply to similar images with the same subject geometry. If image dimensions differ, you can scale the path proportionally or re-run with adjusted coordinates to maintain alignment.
How does feathering affect edge quality?
Feathering applies a Gaussian blur along the mask boundary with a radius equal to the feather_radius parameter in pixels. This softens edges to reduce jagged transitions and helps blend the selection into adjacent areas during compositing.
Are there performance considerations for large images?
Processing large images increases memory usage. For very large inputs, downscale before masking or run on machines with adequate memory. The tool aims to provide consistent results across a range of image sizes.
