Removal.AI removes image backgrounds and can replace them with white, customized, or transparent backgrounds in three seconds or less. Its online editor lets users adjust backgrounds, add text and effects, and manually edit the foreground with a background eraser. The service is available on the web, as desktop apps for macOS and Windows, and through an API. Bulk Upload accepts up to 100 images per upload and uses half the credits per image; the service also describes processing more than 1,000 images in a single upload. The API accepts direct uploads or image URLs and can return a file URL or Base64 output, with output resolutions up to 25 megapixels. New API users get 10 preview credits per month by default. The free plan is 0.00 USD per free and limits output to 0.25 megapixels for personal use. Paid choices include monthly credit plans and one-time credit packs; the three-credit lifetime pack is listed at 1.89 USD per month, billed once, with credits usable within three years.
