What PurgeBG is

PurgeBG removes image backgrounds in a browser and exports transparent PNG files or JPG files with a color background. Its web tool accepts PNG, JPEG, and WebP images, while Fast performs general removal and Fine provides a portrait-focused pass for hair and softer human edges. Batch processing and API access are available, with up to 400 images listed as a monthly allowance for one plan. Other tools cover changing photo backgrounds or colors, making white backgrounds, removing green screens, preparing passport-photo backgrounds, and removing image metadata. Fast and Fine process images in the browser without sending the selected image or generated mask to PurgeBG’s image-processing server. Batch and API requests send images over an encrypted connection, and some supported images may go to Kie.ai for Recraft removal. Exports are PNG and JPG. Integrations are listed as coming soon.
