Tips and Tricks: Removing Backgrounds

This AI Powered Tool Removes Backgrounds From Photos in Seconds

 

If you’re like me, you spend a lot of time on product photography. Whether I’m building an online company store, working on some marketing materials, or just need to send a client a clean image; interrupting your workflow to remove a background in Photoshop is a drag. Fortunately, thanks to the emergence of artificial intelligence, you’ve got a solution that makes background removal a snap and you don’t need an expensive Photoshop license to do it.

 Remove.bg is an AI powered service that can remove backgrounds from your images in seconds. Go ahead, visit the website and give it a try. It’s free and you don’t need to sign up for anything to see how it works. In a pinch, it even works on your mobile phone. There are also dedicated applications for your Mac or PC and, if you’re a Photoshop user, there is a plugin available so that you can perform background removal and creative in one workspace. There’s even an API available so that you can integrate background removal into your own workflows.

 I haven’t run into a scenario where I need to pay for the service, but if you happen to do this kind of work frequently, there are a few options.

 

  • Free – 1 image credit per month and 50 image previews.

  • Subscription – Options to buy blocks of image credits as low as $9/mo.

  • Pay as you go – Buy a block of image credits with two years to use them.

 

All plans come with use of Remove.bg apps and the API.

Save yourself some time and be your design team’s hero by introducing them to this excellent tool!
