Remove.bg

Automatically removes image backgrounds, then lets users create transparent cutouts, replace backgrounds, edit images, and process batches.

Remove.bg removes backgrounds from photos automatically through its website, desktop apps, API, and integrations. It supports transparent cutouts, background replacement, AI-generated backgrounds, shadows, editing, batch processing, and video background removal.

Photographers, designers, marketers, ecommerce teams, developers, and car dealerships use it for product images, portraits, logos, thumbnails, and catalogs. Low-resolution website processing is free; higher-resolution exports, automation, commercial use, and larger volumes require credits or subscriptions. Remove.bg says its background-removal functionality is moving into Canva.
