Remove background

How 3 models handled “Remove background” from our eval suite, GPT Image 2.5 first, then newest first.

What we look for

Clean matte around the hair/curls. Fully transparent background, no leftover fringes.

Prompt

“Cut this photograph out. Return only the woman on a fully transparent background: a PNG with a real alpha channel, nothing behind her. Do not paint a white, grey or checkerboard backdrop into the pixels, and do not add a drop shadow or a ground plate. Keep her exactly as photographed — same pose, same face, same hair, same jacket, same framing and lighting. Do not redraw, restyle, retouch or crop her.”
