bg-remove-semi-transparency

Premium Feature

Background Removal Semi Transparency is currently available for imgix customers on our Premium plans. If you’re interested in this feature, please contact our sales team (opens in a new tab) to get more information on this feature.

The bg-remove-semi-transparency parameter accepts a boolean value. When set to true, this feature retains some semi-transparent elements within the image, such as car windows, while removing the rest of the background.

bg-remove-semi-transparency accepts two values:

  • True: (default) Retains the semi-transparency of some objects/backgrounds like windows and screens
  • False: Completely removes the background

You can see the differences side by side below:

By default, this parameter is set to true, when not specified.
