Background remover results: the hard edges.
More than a one-click background eraser.
Every cutout starts as a free watermarked preview. Keep the full-size, watermark-free file for 1 credit — about $0.25 in a pack, or $1.99 for a single photo with no account.
Transparent PNG at full size
Remove background from an image and get a PNG cutout at the original size of your upload, ready for Canva, Figma, or a store listing.
White, black, red, or blue background
Swap the removed background for a solid color with a natural shadow — one click, no layers.
Hair, fur, and glass edges
The background remover keeps curls, whiskers, and see-through glass instead of cutting a hard outline around them.
Free touch-up brush
Erase a leftover patch of background or restore a part the AI cut, then re-render the full-size file at no cost.
Batch background removal
Remove the background from 10 images at a time with a credit pack or Pro, or 50 with Business.

days until remove.bg's standalone site closes.
On Dec 1, 2026 remove.bg closes its standalone site and self-serve API. The editor moves into Canva and the API moves to Leonardo.Ai. Any unused PAYG credits will expire on 1 December 2026. ZeroBG keeps pay-per-photo pricing and a drop-in API, so you can keep using a remove bg tool without a subscription.

AI background remover vs. erasing by hand
Removing a background by hand means tracing the subject with a lasso or pen tool, then cleaning every strand of hair with a soft brush. On a portrait with loose hair that is slow, fiddly work even in Photoshop. An AI background remover does the same cutout in a few seconds and keeps the edge soft where it should be soft — hair, fur, and the rim of a glass.
Manual work still wins on unusual shots: a white product on a white table, a subject that blends into the backdrop, or a scene where you want to keep part of the background. That is why ZeroBG pairs the automatic cutout with a free touch-up brush, so you can fix those spots instead of starting over. Need something other than background removal? Browse all AI photo tools.
Background remover FAQ
Is the background remover free?
Yes, to try. Every photo gets a free 512 px watermarked preview with the background removed, no sign-up needed. New accounts get 1 HD credit. After that, download one full-size photo for $1.99 with no account, or buy packs that never expire — 20 credits for $4.99 or 100 for $9.
How do I remove the background from an image?
Drop a JPG, PNG, or WebP up to 25 MB on the upload box, or paste it with Ctrl+V. The AI background remover finds the subject and cuts it out in a few seconds. Keep the background transparent or pick white, black, red, or blue, fix any edge with the free touch-up brush, then download.
What file do I get?
A PNG with a transparent background at the original size of your upload, or the same cutout on a solid color. The free preview is 512 px on the longest side with a small watermark; the HD download is full size with no watermark.
Does it work on hair, fur, and glass?
The model keeps fine hair strands, fur, and whiskers in most portraits and pet photos, and handles glass and leaves on simple backdrops. Very busy backgrounds or a subject that blends into the backdrop can leave rough spots — use the touch-up brush to erase or restore those areas before you pay.
What does one credit buy?
One full-resolution, watermark-free download from any tool. Re-downloading the same image is free.
Do credits expire?
Credit-pack and sign-up credits never expire. Subscription credits reset to your plan amount each month, don’t roll over, and are used first.
What happens if a job fails?
No credit is charged. If it fails before the model starts, it does not count toward today's limit. If the model had already started and you are not signed in, it counts as one try.
Is ZeroBG a remove.bg alternative?
Yes. remove.bg closes its standalone site and self-serve API on Dec 1, 2026. ZeroBG keeps pay-per-photo pricing and offers a remove.bg-compatible API, so you can remove bg from images the same way without a subscription.
How long do you keep my photos?
Without an account, 24 hours. With an account, for your plan’s history period, then they are deleted automatically.
