Data Transfer Guide

BGRemover doesn't store user data, so you cannot export processing history or settings. Your migration involves gathering original source images that you previously processed in BGRemover. Organize these images systematically before importing them into PhotoRoom. In PhotoRoom, you can create projects or folders mirroring your previous organization structure. For batch processing, select multiple images at once in PhotoRoom's interface. Note that PhotoRoom may offer better preservation of image metadata during processing. If you only have BGRemover's output files (with transparent backgrounds), you'll need the original images for optimal results in PhotoRoom's more advanced editing environment.
