THE CLUB'S CREATIVE DEPARTMENT

RENDER
STUDIO.

Your photo. Your footballer. Ready for your career.

Remove the background, check the cutout and add it to your personal GAFFER library. Your photo stays in this browser.

01 / THE CUTOUT

BRING THE PLAYER IN.

YOUR PLAYER
GOES HERE.

Start with a clear photo of one player. A portrait or waist-up image works best.

The first background removal downloads the MODNet model. Processing happens on your device. Already have a transparent PNG? You can use it directly.

02 / THE FOOTBALLER

MAKE THE MATCH.

No player selected

Use an FC player ID instead

Choose the club kit shown in the photo, even if the player has moved in your save. GAFFER prefers their current club’s kit, then uses an older-kit render of the same player when needed.

THEN OPEN IT.

  1. Extract the downloaded ZIP.
  2. Close GAFFER and run Install Render.cmd.
  3. Open GAFFER again. Your render is in the library.

The installer finds your chosen render-library folder and preserves existing renders. A browser cannot silently install files on your PC.

A PLAYER IS MORE THAN A KIT

WHY IS A
RENDER MISSING?

PACK NOT INSTALLED.

GAFFER's 504 illustrations are included. The large player-render pack is optional and must be installed separately.

AFTER A TRANSFER.

A transfer doesn’t make an existing player render unusable. GAFFER checks for the current club’s kit first, then uses the same player in an older kit. Tielemans can still appear at Manchester United using his Leicester render if a United image isn’t available.

NO SUITABLE IMAGE.

Some players have no matched cutout, or an image is missing or damaged. Import a photo here using their exact FC player ID. Never use another player's image as a substitute.

Background removal: MODNet and Transformers.js. Review fine hair, hands and kit edges before installing.
