Data Transfer Guide
SharkFoto does not offer bulk export of project files; you can only download final edited images. To transfer data: 1) Log into SharkFoto and manually download each image you need via the export function, saving them locally. 2) Organize these files into folders for easy access. 3) In BGRemover, upload each image individually via the website—there is no import function, as BGRemover doesn't store user data. Process each image with one-click background removal and download the result. Since BGRemover is session-based (no accounts), you cannot transfer editing history or preferences. For large volumes, consider scripting uploads via BGRemover's API if available, though manual transfer is typical for most users.
