Overview
PicWish's background remover cuts subjects out automatically and gives 50 free downloads a day with no watermark. It reads PNG, JPG, WEBP, BMP and iPhone HEIC files. After the automatic cutout, manual tools refine tricky edges, adjust lighting and add shadows under products. The web version takes 100 images per batch, and the desktop app up to 10,000.
It runs on the web, in Windows and Mac desktop apps and in phone apps, with the same remover available as an API. Downloading needs a free account. The free file is smaller than the full-size version, which needs a Pro subscription. API pricing covers automation.

- You process catalogs: 100 images per web batch, up to 10,000 on desktop, and an API for automation.
When NOT to use
Skip it if any of these describe you:
- The cutout is step one of a designed product image. Photoroom and Pixelcut build scenes, templates and staging around the remover.
- You want a Photoshop plugin in your existing workflow. remove.bg has the plugin ecosystem.
- You need hand-drawn print-grade masks. Adobe Photoshop remains the manual standard.
