Remove.bg

What is Remove.bg?

Remove.bg is an online tool that removes the background from photos automatically. You upload an image, the AI detects the main subject, such as a person, product, animal or car, and returns a cutout with a transparent background in a few seconds. It is now owned by Canva and is based on a simple one-click workflow with no manual selection.

The service works on the web, and it also offers an API, desktop and mobile options and integrations with design tools such as Photoshop and Figma. The free option lets you remove backgrounds at preview resolution, while full-resolution, watermark-free downloads use credits. Credits can be bought as pay-as-you-go packs or through monthly subscriptions, and higher-volume and enterprise options are available.

Remove.bg is popular with e-commerce sellers, photographers, designers, marketers and developers who need clean product photos, profile pictures and quick design assets. Results work best on clear subjects, and fine details such as hair, jewelry or complex objects may need manual cleanup. Plans and credit prices change, so check the pricing page before you buy.
