Getting started
- Upload your photo to the Removal.AI web tool and review the free preview.
- Download if low resolution is enough; for high resolution, use the free credit from sign-up or a credit pack.
- For many images, switch to the bulk tool or the desktop app, and paste the API token from your account into the app.
Decision points
- If you need high-resolution output, compare the per-image credit cost on the pricing page with other tools.
- If you want background removal inside your own software, review the API documentation separately; this entry covers end-user tools.
Limits
- Per the official pricing page, free downloads are low resolution (0.25 megapixels) and high resolution needs credits. Limits may change.
- The desktop app is free to download but needs credits and an API token to use; the page does not say whether processing is offline.
