PurePhotos automatically extracts a subject from its background using AI and computer-vision-based extraction, tuned in particular for difficult cases like fine hair detail, props and sports equipment, and works across backgrounds of any color or complexity rather than requiring a green screen. A custom background can be applied during the same extraction pass at no extra cost, output can be delivered as a layered Adobe Photoshop Document file for further editing, and FTP integration supports uploading and downloading up to 10,000 images at once for a studio processing a large shoot. A public API and desktop apps for macOS and Windows extend the service into an existing production workflow rather than requiring every image to go through a web upload.
PurePhotos is built for professional and studio-scale photography workflows rather than a single casual photo edit, so a person who only needs to remove the background from one or two personal photos may find a free consumer tool a better fit for that narrower need. As with any automated extraction tool, an unusually complex image, such as fine or wind-blown hair against a busy background, is worth spot-checking even with a system tuned for that specific case.
Pricing is pay-as-you-go starting from $0.15 per image, with no subscription or monthly minimum required. New accounts get 5 images processed for free to evaluate quality before paying. FTP integration and the public API are included at no additional cost beyond the per-image rate.
