Product photos with the background removed
Photoroom cuts a subject out of a photo and drops it onto something better, which is most of what selling a physical product on Instagram or Etsy requires. Batch mode does a whole catalogue at once. It is built around commerce imagery rather than general editing, so a portrait retoucher will find it narrow.
Thumbnails and product shots from a phone
Pixelcut does background removal, upscaling and text-behind-subject on a phone, which covers a thumbnail between filming and uploading. The free tier exports without a watermark, which is unusual and is most of the reason to try it. Anybody working on a desktop with a real editor open will outgrow it.
