Removal.ai is a background removal service with an online editor, bulk processing, and API access.
Removal.ai generates transparent cutouts and layered PSD files, which is handy for designers who want the subject on one layer and the original background preserved on another. Its editor supports background replacement, shadows, and text overlays, while the API and Zapier integration let teams automate removal into their pipelines. The free tier includes a handful of downloads for testing quality.
Removal.ai is freemium: free test downloads with a subscription of monthly credits for high-resolution images, plus lifetime credit packs that never expire.
Designers who want layered output and teams automating cutouts through Zapier or the API.
Designers keep original backgrounds as hidden layers for later compositing. E-commerce teams automate cutouts via Zapier into their listing tools. Agencies buy lifetime credit packs for irregular project work.
Choose layered PSD export whenever you may need the original background again; it saves re-uploading later.
Designers export layered PSDs into compositing workflows, while operations teams wire the API and Zapier into listing pipelines. Lifetime credit packs fit project-based agencies whose usage spikes and dips unpredictably across the year.
