Overview

Removal.AI automatically detects the subject in a photo and removes the background in under 3 seconds, replacing it with a transparent, solid, or custom background rather than requiring manual selection.

Batch processing handles up to 1,000 images per upload, a built-in online photo editor adds text and effects after background removal, and API integration lets developers build the capability directly into their own products; a desktop app is also available for offline use.

Removal.AI serves individuals and creative professionals, e-commerce businesses, photographers, designers, marketers, developers, and enterprises. A free tier offers preview images at 1000px resolution; paid pricing is on a separate page, with professional manual editing available as a premium option with 24-hour turnaround.
