Remove Image Background cuts the subject out of any photo and returns a clean transparent PNG. It handles complex edges — hair, fur, transparent objects, glasses — with high accuracy, and includes a pro-grade model trained specifically on e-commerce product imagery.
Background removal is a routine part of product photography, content design, and catalog production. This tool removes the manual selection work in Photoshop, letting you process a single image or a batch of up to 20 in one call. The result is a transparent cutout ready for compositing, mockups, or white-background product listings.
What you can do
- Remove the background from a single image and get a transparent PNG or WebP
- Batch process up to 20 images in one call
- Choose the right model for the job: light (fast), heavy (fine edges), portrait (people), or photoroom (pro e-commerce)
- Apply a solid background color directly on the cutout for instant product-on-white output
- Control output resolution and format
Who it's for
E-commerce sellers preparing product images for listings. Designers compositing subjects into new backgrounds. Photographers doing batch headshot processing. Anyone who needs clean cutouts without manual masking.
How to use it
- Use remove_background with an image URL — the light model is fast and works well for most images
- Switch to the heavy model for images with fine edges like hair, fur, or transparent objects
- Use the photoroom model for e-commerce product shots — it's trained on commercial product imagery and supports bg_color for instant white backgrounds
- Use batch_remove with an array of up to 20 image URLs to process a catalog efficiently
Getting started
remove_background works immediately with any public image URL — no setup needed.
