Automatically remove backgrounds

Images are a feature of nearly all apps, enhancing UX and improving user-generated content.

Once, you had to be an expert in visual computing and artificial intelligence - developing and maintaining a completely different technology stack - just to remove the background from an image.

Well, not any more. We've packed it all into one line of code for any image.

Endless possibilities

Getting rid of backgrounds so easily means you can integrate user-generated content with your design, as well as generate high-quality content for social media and SEO - all 100% automatically. Get some more inspiration on our profile picture background editor’s page. 

What’s more, you can create unprecedented AR / VR experiences, build mind-blowing image-editing interfaces, and make eCommerce product customization as simple as pie.

What else could you create with remove.bg?

Easy to integrate

The remove.bg API is an HTTP-based interface. You can choose from several clever options.

Easily integrate our background removal code into your app or website, and watch it work wonders.

But don't worry about complexity. All you'll ever need to do is upload an image to end up with the same image without background.

That's it.

Cloud-hosted, scalable, reliable

Whether you process 50 images a month or 10,000 in an hour, our fully managed service lets you focus on actually building apps.

You'll never have to worry about scalability or infrastructure because remove.bg is a cloud-hosted background image remover.
