PRODUCT OVERVIEW
What is remove.bg?
remove.bg is an AI-powered background remover that automatically cuts out the subject of a photo and isolates the background with high accuracy, producing transparent PNGs or clean white backgrounds. Beyond removal, it includes an AI background generator for creating custom backdrops without writing prompts, plus a Magic Brush and erase-and-restore tools. It serves individuals, photographers, marketers, e-commerce and car-listing teams, and developers through bulk editing that can process up to 500 images per minute, integrations with Figma, Photoshop and Zapier, a desktop app for Windows, Mac and Linux, an Android app, and an API. Access ranges from a free preview and a trial credit to pay-as-you-go credits and monthly subscriptions. The standalone website is scheduled to move into Canva from 1 December 2026.
