What it does
BackgroundCut is an automatic image background remover with web upload and API routes, showing people, products, animals and graphics as examples.
Upload a subject photo for automatic removal, then use the editor or auto-cropping as needed. Bulk browser processing is paid. The Free table lists five credits, while signup separately offers ten trial credits; do not combine them or assume monthly renewal. Credits last 90 days even after cancellation, and cost varies with feature and resolution. Basic/Standard web credits do not cover the separately purchased API. Standard's additional generation, object-removal and super-resolution tools are marked Coming Soon, rather than available now.
Strengths
- Web and API access routes
Watch out for
- Free excludes bulk processing, and paid web subscription credits cannot be used for the API.
Best for
