The text path is useful when you need a clean object but do not have a source photo. Describe the subject, composition, materials, and lighting. The rewritten prompt adds explicit transparency language, framing guidance, edge quality, and negative instructions so the image model does not invent a floor or backdrop. This is helpful for product concepts, icons, illustrations, and ecommerce drafts.
The upload path is for existing images. Choose a photo with a clear separation between subject and background, then let the image model isolate it. Fine hair, glass, smoke, and semi-transparent fabric are inherently difficult for every cutout method, so inspect those edges carefully. Pellucen does not promise pixel-perfect compositing, but it gives you a fast first pass with a transparent PNG you can polish in your editing software.
Both modes call the same server-side image API. API keys never enter the browser bundle, and uploaded files are validated before forwarding. Text is sent to DeepSeek only for prompt rewriting; image generation always uses the separate image model configured by the site owner.
