Automatic background removal for photos, with a batch and API option
Remove.bg does one narrow job and has done it well for years: you upload a photo and get the subject cut out against a transparent background within seconds. It handles hair, fur and semi-transparent edges better than most quick alternatives, and the web editor adds background colour, replacement images and simple shadow options. Since joining the Canva family the product has added desktop and Photoshop plug-ins plus a batch pipeline. The API is what most businesses actually use, wiring background removal into their own listing or design workflow.

Free downloads are preview quality rather than full resolution, which is why the site is often used to check the cutout before paying. A small monthly credit allowance applies to full resolution output.
API access is sold as prepaid credits, each covering one processed image, with volume discounts at higher tiers. Costs scale with image count rather than with resolution, so batch catalogues need a budget estimate first.
Hair, fur and translucent objects are handled well, but you can mark areas as foreground or background in the editor to correct mistakes. Very similar colours between subject and background remain the hardest case.
