Removal.ai
Removal.ai is an AI background remover that cuts out image backgrounds in seconds and lets you replace them. It offers bulk processing and an API for workflows. It suits ecommerce sellers, photographers, marketers and developers editing product and portrait images.
You have 200 product photos shot on a cluttered table, and the marketplace wants clean white backgrounds by Friday. Removal.ai cuts the subject out of a photo automatically, then lets you swap or color the background. You can do it one image at a time in the browser, in bulk, through an API, in a desktop app for Windows, Mac and Linux, or from inside Adobe Photoshop.
Online sellers, photographers and design teams are the usual users, along with developers who need background removal inside their own apps.
Previews are free and unlimited, so you can see the cutout before spending anything. You pay when you download the full-resolution result.
How the credits work
One full-resolution download is one credit. Monthly plans start at $5.99 for 100 credits and go to $1,650 for 90,000, so the price per image falls from about 5 cents to about 1 cent. Lifetime packs, which you buy once, run from $1.89 for 3 credits to $1,499 for 13,000 credits. Prices checked on removal.ai in October 2026. For 10,000 or more images a month there is a high-volume option with custom API and rate limits.
Good to know
- Lifetime credits are not forever: they must be used within three years.
- On monthly plans unused credits roll over, up to five times your monthly amount, but only while you stay subscribed.
- Uploads must be JPG or PNG up to 12 MB, and images over 36 megapixels are resized. The 14-day money-back guarantee applies only if you have made 50 downloads or fewer.
Support is in English only. Removal.ai also sells human photo editing services alongside the automatic tool.
