What remover.bg is
remover.bg uses AI to identify a photo’s subject and return a cutout with its background removed. The browser tool accepts PNG, JPG, and WebP images up to 25 MB, and users can download transparent PNGs or export JPG and WebP files with a chosen quality. Its editor lets users add a background, reposition or resize the subject, and apply shadows. For car photos, it can clean up the old background visible through windows while retaining a slightly transparent appearance for the glass. The paid-plan HTTP API accepts PNG, JPEG, or WebP uploads up to 25 MB and 50 megapixels, then returns the processed image. The service is available on the web and Android, and its site advertises an Android app that shares account credits and history with the web service. The free plan allows 2 removals per day without an account or 5 per day with a free account. Pay as you go costs $2, paid once for 5 credits, which do not expire. Subscription credits reset each billing period and unused credits expire. The maker says uploaded images are not used to train AI models or sold; API results and temporary download URLs are deleted after 24 hours.
