Get Full Resolution Images

Credits enable you to use remove.bg for full-resolution cutouts in high quality. You can use credits on remove.bg, via the remove.bg API, in our Windows / Mac / Linux app or Photoshop Extension.

Removing the background from 1 image requires 1 credit. Preview images are free on remove.bg and ¼ credit via the remove.bg apps (e.g. Desktop app, Photoshop plugin, or Figma plugin) and the API.

Subscriptions include a monthly budget of credits, that you can use within that month (or roll over to the next month as long as you stay subscribed). Pay-as-you-go credits don't expire.

• Pay-as-you-go credits: Best for one-time or unpredictable image needs. Buy only what you need—credits never expire.

• Subscription: Ideal for frequent or high-volume usage. Subscriptions save you money per image and include credit rollover (up to 5× your monthly budget).

Monthly plans start at just 40 images, offering big savings without long-term commitments.

Yes! You can cancel your subscription anytime in your account profile.

Note: Subscription credits are only valid while your subscription is active. If you cancel, you can use any remaining credits until the end of your current billing period.

For example, if you subscribe on February 1st and cancel on February 2nd, you can use the credits until March 1st, the end of your billing period.

For more flexibility, consider Pay as you go credits—they never expire.

Monthly subscriptions: Yes, you can change your monthly subscription anytime in your account profile. For more details, visit our help center: Can I upgrade/downgrade/cancel my subscription?

Yearly subscriptions: Upgrades are possible—just reach out to us at team@remove.bg for assistance. You can also downgrade your yearly plan after 12 months by canceling the subscription and re-subscribing to another plan before the end of the billing period. If you need help, let us know!

You can roll over unused credits—up to 5× your monthly credit budget.

For example, if you're on the 500 credits/month plan, you receive 500 new credits each month and can roll over up to 2,500 unused credits from previous months.

Note:

• If you upgrade or downgrade your plan, your rollover limit will adjust accordingly.

• Your subscription must remain active for credits to roll over.

If you use up all your credits, you won’t be able to remove more backgrounds until your next billing cycle (except for preview images on remove.bg, which are always free).

To get more credits immediately, you can:

• Upgrade your plan to a higher tier.

• Purchase Pay-as-you-go credits, which don’t expire.

There are no overage charges—you’ll never be charged automatically for extra usage. To avoid running out of credits, check out this article for tips.
