remove.bg

remove.bg does one thing: it removes the background from an image automatically. You get the subject back on a transparent or plain background. It works on people, products, animals, cars and graphics, and a Magic Brush lets you paint edges back in or out by hand. For volume work, a desktop app processes whole folders, and a Photoshop plugin, a Figma integration and an API bring the cutout into other tools.

It runs on the web, as a desktop app for Windows, Mac and Linux, and as an Android app. Free downloads are previews up to 0.25 megapixels, for personal use. Full resolution costs one credit per image. Credits come as a subscription or as pay-as-you-go packs.

Use remove.bg if:

• You sell online and need product photos on white or transparent backgrounds for your store listings.
• You need a profile photo or headshot with the background gone, once, in the browser, in seconds.
• You have a folder with hundreds of photos to cut out. The desktop app processes whole folders in one drag, and remove.bg states bulk editing runs up to 500 images per minute.
• You work in Photoshop or Figma and want subjects cut out without building masks by hand. The plugin and the integration do it in place.
• You are a developer, or you automate marketing work. The API and the Zapier and Make connections remove backgrounds without anyone clicking.

Skip remove.bg if any of these describe you:

• You need full-resolution results without paying. Free downloads are previews capped at 0.25 megapixels. Some tools in our background remover list give bigger free downloads.
• You want to keep editing after the cutout: add text, retouch, adjust colors. remove.bg only removes or swaps the background. A general photo editor covers the rest.
• You need edges drawn entirely by hand, for example for print work. The Magic Brush corrects the AI's cutout, but the first pass is still automatic. Manual masking in Adobe Photoshop gives full control.
• You mostly edit on an iPhone. There is an Android app but no official iPhone app.
