Online sellers needing quick cut-outs will like the one-click result, but free downloads are tiny and full resolution costs credits.

Kenning's take

What it does

remove.bg removes the background from a photo automatically. Users upload an image on the website, desktop app or Android app and get a cut-out with a transparent, white or new AI-generated background. Low-resolution results are free for personal use, and full-resolution downloads need credits or a subscription.

  • automatic background removal
  • transparent PNG or white backgrounds
  • AI background generator
  • Magic Brush for touch-ups
  • video background removal
  • API, Photoshop extension and desktop apps

Who it suits. Online sellers, marketers and anyone who needs clean product or profile cut-outs quickly.
