## Overview (en)

Refine cutout edges lets you clean up a cutout by painting with a brush. Erase strokes make pixels transparent, and Restore strokes bring back the pixels of the loaded image under the brush. The brush radius runs from 1 to 200 pixels, and the edited result is saved as transparent.png with its transparency intact.

## Questions (en)

### How do I fix rough edges on a cutout?

Load the cutout PNG, choose Erase and paint over leftover background, then switch to Restore and paint over parts of the subject that were removed by mistake. Reduce the brush radius for fine edges.

### What does Restore do in the cutout editor?

Restore paints back pixels from the image you loaded, exactly where you brush. It cannot rebuild detail that is missing from that file, so restoring only works where the source still contains the original pixels.

### Is there a limit on brush strokes when refining a cutout?

Yes. Up to 200 strokes with 10,000 points in total are accepted per run. For larger edits, download the result, load it again and continue refining.
