What image formats does Spiral Tool support?
Spiral Tool supports all major image formats including JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, and WebP. You can upload images in any of these formats and convert them to different formats as needed. Our format converter ensures high-quality output while maintaining optimal file sizes.
Background Remover
How does the background remover tool work?
Our background remover uses advanced AI algorithms to automatically detect and remove backgrounds from your images. Simply upload your image, and our tool will intelligently identify the main subject and separate it from the background. The process is automatic and typically takes just a few seconds to complete.
What types of images work best with the background remover?
The background remover works best with images that have clear contrast between the subject and background. Photos of people, products, animals, and objects with well-defined edges produce the best results. Images with complex backgrounds or subjects that blend into the background may require manual touch-ups.
Can I fine-tune the background removal results?
Yes, after the automatic background removal, you can manually refine the results using our brush tools. You can restore parts of the subject that were accidentally removed or erase remaining background elements that weren't automatically detected. This gives you complete control over the final result.
What format should I save my image after background removal?
For images with removed backgrounds, we recommend saving in PNG format as it supports transparency. This allows you to place your subject on any background later. If you don't need transparency, JPEG format will provide smaller file sizes but with a white background.
Blur Tool
What types of blur effects are available?
Spiral Tool offers several blur effects including Gaussian blur for smooth, natural-looking blur; Motion blur for creating movement effects; Radial blur for circular blur patterns; and Selective blur that allows you to blur specific areas while keeping others sharp. Each effect can be customized with different intensity levels.
Can I apply blur to specific areas of my image?
Absolutely! Our selective blur tool allows you to apply blur effects to specific areas of your image. You can use brush tools to paint blur onto desired areas or use selection tools to define precise regions. This is perfect for creating depth of field effects or focusing attention on specific subjects.
How do I control the intensity of the blur effect?
You can control blur intensity using our intuitive slider controls. The blur radius can be adjusted from subtle (1-2 pixels) to extreme (50+ pixels). You can preview the effect in real-time as you adjust the settings, ensuring you achieve exactly the look you want before applying the changes.
Can I undo blur effects if I'm not satisfied?
Yes, our editor includes a comprehensive undo/redo system. You can undo any blur effects and try different settings or blur types. We also provide a history panel that lets you jump back to any previous state of your editing session, giving you complete flexibility to experiment.
Image Format Conversion
Which image formats can I convert between?
Our format converter supports conversion between all major image formats including JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, and WebP. You can convert from any supported format to any other supported format. The converter automatically optimizes settings for each format to ensure the best quality and appropriate file size.
Will converting formats affect image quality?
The impact on quality depends on the formats involved. Converting from lossless formats (PNG, BMP) to lossy formats (JPEG) may result in some quality loss, which you can control through quality settings. Converting between lossless formats or from lossy to lossless maintains the original quality. Our converter provides quality previews to help you make informed decisions.
Can I batch convert multiple images at once?
Currently, our format converter processes one image at a time to ensure optimal quality and processing speed. However, the conversion process is very fast, typically completing within seconds. We're working on implementing batch processing capabilities in future updates.
What's the difference between JPEG and PNG formats?
JPEG is a lossy format best for photographs with many colors - it creates smaller files but with some quality loss. PNG is a lossless format that supports transparency, making it ideal for graphics, logos, and images where you need perfect quality or transparent backgrounds. Choose JPEG for photos and PNG for graphics or when you need transparency.
Opacity Adjustment
How does the opacity adjustment tool work?
The opacity adjustment tool allows you to control the transparency of your entire image or specific layers. You can adjust opacity from 0% (completely transparent) to 100% (completely opaque) using an easy-to-use slider. This is perfect for creating watermarks, overlay effects, or blending images together.
Can I adjust opacity for specific parts of an image?
Yes, you can selectively adjust opacity for specific areas using our brush tools or selection tools. This allows you to create partial transparency effects, fade certain elements, or create sophisticated blending effects. You can also use gradients to create smooth opacity transitions across your image.
What file formats preserve transparency after opacity changes?
PNG and GIF formats preserve transparency information, making them ideal for images with opacity adjustments. TIFF also supports transparency. JPEG format doesn't support transparency, so any transparent areas will appear as white or a selected background color when saved as JPEG.
Can I create watermarks using the opacity tool?
Absolutely! The opacity tool is perfect for creating watermarks. You can reduce the opacity of text, logos, or images to create subtle watermarks that protect your content without significantly interfering with the main image. Typically, 20-40% opacity works well for watermarks.
Technical Support
What are the file size limitations?
Spiral Tool can handle images up to 50MB in size with dimensions up to 10,000 x 10,000 pixels. For optimal performance, we recommend using images under 20MB. Larger files may take longer to process, and very large files might require more powerful hardware for smooth editing.
Is my data safe when using Spiral Tool?
Yes, your privacy and data security are our top priorities. All image processing is done locally in your browser - your images are never uploaded to our servers. Your images remain on your device throughout the entire editing process, ensuring complete privacy and security of your content.
Which web browsers are compatible with Spiral Tool?
Spiral Tool is compatible with all modern web browsers including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Microsoft Edge, and Opera. We recommend using the latest version of your preferred browser for the best performance and access to all features. Mobile browsers are also supported for basic editing tasks.
