Sometimes the edit needs one small graphic: a logo, a cutout or an image large enough to hold up in a thumbnail. SmoothyApp’s Assets workspace brings those jobs together, with free local background removal and 2× or 4× upscaling alongside SVG conversion.
These tools run on your computer. No SmoothyEdit account or Studio credits are required. Background removal and upscaling need an initial model download, so allow time, an internet connection and disk space for setup.
Start with the image you intend to use
Load an image into Assets or paste one from your clipboard. The preview shows the selected image so you can inspect it before processing. If you have an SVG, use SVG import to render a PNG at a useful size while preserving transparency.
For an original vector logo, rendering the SVG at the target size is often the right first step. Upscaling a tiny raster copy cannot recover the original vector paths. Keep the SVG for later changes.
Make a local cutout
Choose background removal and let the local model process the image. The result updates the preview. You can restore the original if it is not useful, or cancel while processing.
Inspect hair, fine edges and transparent objects carefully. A cutout that looks tidy on a checkerboard may show a halo against the background of your actual design. Save a PNG to retain transparency, then check it over the intended color or footage.
Background removal is distinct from cloud image generation. It processes your existing image locally; it does not create a new scene from a prompt.
Enlarge an image when you need to
Choose 2× or 4× image upscaling. Existing transparency is preserved. Large images take longer, and output is bounded to 8192 pixels per side and 32 megapixels.
Compare the result at the size where viewers will see it. Watch for invented texture, distorted lettering or overly smooth faces. A bigger file is not automatically a better image, especially if the source already fits the final layout.
For a thumbnail, inspect both the full-size result and a small version. Details that look impressive while zoomed in can make no difference when the thumbnail appears on a phone.
Save the result you reviewed
The processed image is used for Save As and Send to Premiere. PNG export can save the images in Assets; make sure you are using the action that matches the file or selection you want.
Premiere integration uses the bundled panel. Saving a PNG works without Premiere, so the same prepared asset can be used in another editor or design application. Keep an original copy for future revisions.
For the complete graphics workflow, read how to import an SVG into Premiere. If you want to create a new image or make a prompt-based edit, see AI Photos and reactions, which use optional cloud credits. The workspace overview shows where both kinds of tools live.
