Frequently asked questions

Is Image Outline free to use?
Yes. Image Outline is available on the free plan with 20 daily runs. Paid plans add higher quotas for repeat work.
Why does the outline only follow part of the image?
The outline traces the transparent pixels. If the source still has a background, there is nothing to trace except the outer rectangle.
What thickness should I use?
Thick enough to read at the size the image will actually be shown. Judge it on the smallest version, such as a chat thumbnail or a favicon.
Which colour outline works on any background?
None does. A white outline vanishes on white pages, so pick the colour that contrasts with wherever the image will sit.
Does the outline cover part of the image?
That depends where it is drawn. Outside the silhouette the canvas grows and the subject is untouched; inside it, a few pixels are eaten off the edge.
