Three snips to a collage

Clip out your material
Click the toolbar icon, then point at anything on the page — a person, an object, an illustration. SAM segments it and copies a clean PNG with a transparent background to your clipboard. Two ways to clip:
- Click mode — click what you want to keep
(
)
and shift-click anything you want left out
(
).
Keep clicking to sharpen the selection. Once you have a selection, press
Tab to cycle through alternative regions SAM proposes around
your click — handy when the first guess grabs too much or too little. When
the highlighted area looks right, press Enter to copy. - Detect all — cut out every distinct shape on the page at once and pick from the sidebar.
The first click takes 3–5 seconds while the model loads. Two SAM variants are available in the options — the faster one is the default.
