How to Remove Backgrounds From Images

Get pixel-perfect background removal in one click — product photos, portraits, logos, and complex scenes. Ecommerce ops gets clean PNG cutouts of every SKU for the PDP, then composites them onto AI-generated lifestyle scenes without a photographer. On Astorie's canvas, route the still through Bria RMBG for a precise alpha cutout, hand the cutout to Nano Banana 2 or Flux Kontext for a chained edit (drop the subject onto a generated lifestyle background), then pass into a video node for animation. The deliverable is marketplace-ready cutouts plus AI lifestyle composites. Pick a model below to walk through the cutout-to-composite pipeline.

How to Extract Frames From AI Video

A director pulls the strongest frame from a 5-second AI video clip and uses it as the reference image for the next shot in the sequence. On Astorie's canvas, route the source clip (Seedance 2, Kling 3, etc.) into the frame-extraction tool node, scrub to the chosen timestamp, then chain the extracted still into a Nano Banana 2 image edit or directly into the next video node as a starting frame. Output is a reference-locked frame for next-shot starting frames, image-edit chains, or hero stills from approved video takes. Pick a model below to walk through the frame harvest workflow.

How to Upscale AI Video to 4K

An editor takes a softly rendered Sora, Seedance, or Kling clip and ships a 4K master to YouTube or broadcast — without regenerating the shot. On Astorie's canvas, route the locked clip into the video-upscale tool node downstream of the original generator (Seedance 2, Sora 2, or Kling 3), set 2x for safe defaults and 4x only on hero shots. Stack sparingly: one 2x pass beats stacking 2x then 2x. Final pass before NLE export. Pick a model below to walk through the upscale flow paired to your source generator.

How to Sync Lips to Audio With AI

A marketer takes a brand spokesperson portrait + ElevenLabs-generated script and ships a 30-second talking-head ad with no on-camera talent. On Astorie's canvas, route the portrait into a lip-sync tool node, send the audio track from ElevenLabs Eleven v3 alongside, and pick Kling Avatar (tight talking head), OmniHuman (presenter with gesture and torso), or Kling O3 Video Edit for restyle. Most lip-sync models cap at 30-60 seconds per call, so chunk longer scripts. Pick a model below to walk through the UGC explainer or dub workflow.
