Automatic image background remover with API and Photoshop plugin
Updated
Removal.AI is an automated background removal tool for images. It processes JPG and PNG photos up to 12 MB, strips out the background and lets you swap in a new background color.
You upload an image on the web, in a desktop app, via the Photoshop plugin or through the API. The service removes the background and returns a preview for free at 0.25 megapixels; downloading full resolution consumes credits. Credits come from monthly subscriptions, where unused credits roll over up to 5x the monthly budget, or from lifetime packs valid for 3 years.
Removal.AI is used by sellers and designers who clean up product or portrait photos in volume, and by developers who add background removal to their own apps through the API. High-volume buyers can negotiate custom API pricing.
The free version gives low-resolution images (0.25 megapixels) for personal use plus one high-resolution download credit at signup. Monthly subscriptions start at 100 credits for $5.99 ($0.05 per image), scaling to 90,000 credits for $1,650. Lifetime packs start at 25 credits for $8.99, with credits valid 3 years. A 14-day money-back guarantee applies.
Alternatives include PicWish and Designify, which also offer web background removal, and Upscayl, which focuses on image upscaling. Removal.AI differs through its credit packs, Photoshop plugin and API.
