Icons8 Background Remover is a free AI cutout tool backed by the Icons8 design-asset ecosystem.
Icons8’s Background Remover integrates with the wider Icons8 universe of icons, illustrations, photos, and Smart Upscaler. The cutout engine handles people and objects with clean edges, and results drop directly into Icons8’s editors and asset libraries. For design teams already using Icons8 subscriptions, the remover is a convenient add-on that keeps assets in one place.
Basic background removal is free; premium features and high-resolution downloads are bundled with Icons8 subscription plans that also cover the broader asset library.
Designers who already rely on Icons8 assets and want cutout and upscaling in the same subscription.
Designers prepare mockup subjects and drop them into Icons8 illustration scenes. Web teams clean up photos for landing pages while licensing matching icons in the same place.
If you already subscribe to Icons8, route all cutout and upscaling work through it to consolidate billing and licensing in one account.
Designers cut out subjects and drop them directly into Icons8’s illustration and photo environments, which keeps licensing in one subscription. For teams already standardized on Icons8 assets, this removes the need for a separate cutout service and separate invoices.
