remove.bg

remove.bg cuts a subject out of a photo well enough that hair and fur usually survive, and it does it in about five seconds. Everything is metered in credits, one per full-resolution image, bought monthly or in a one-off pack. The free version returns a preview rather than a usable file, so any real work starts at the first credit.

Pay-as-you-go starts at $3 for 3 credits, with one credit per full-resolution image. Lite is $8.10 a month or $97.20 a year for up to 40 credits a month, Pro is $35.10 or $421.20 for 200, and Volume+ is $80.10 or $961.20 for 500. Free accounts get preview-quality results and one trial credit for AI edits. Credits can be topped up on any plan, and above 100,000 images a year the pricing is quoted.

Anybody producing product shots, thumbnails or cutouts in volume, where the seconds saved per image add up. A creator who needs one cutout a month should buy credits rather than a plan.
