The background remover works like magic. Just upload images that need the backgrounds removed and hit go. Our AI will handle the work of selecting the subject, masking the image, and eliminating the background. In short order, you will get back neatly clipped transparent PNG files. Best of all, this solution scales. With API access available, you can integrate background removal directly into your own products. Stop wasting time trying to hire someone on Fiverr or Upwork to clip images! This works perfectly for selling products on Shopify and Amazon, or for turning images into company assets. - True 1-click operation. Upload → ✨ → download. - High-quality image masking, without degradation. - Process many photos at once with bulk uploading - Scaleable with API access.

@visualpharm what advantages does this bring over other tools like RemoveBg and Slazzer?

@visualpharm @akhilesh_balaji After training and refining our background removal tool for the last year and a half internally –we are happy to finally add it to our other creative AI offerings. We are providing our customers with a tool that is convenient, effective, and very economical (*ahem* free) regardless of the other players in the field. It works especially well on fine details such as hair or clothing. Give it a try, you have nothing to lose! :)

@visualpharm I gave it a try, and I think it works really well, especially with the alpha channels feature. I like using tools from a single company most of the time, and with Background Removers, Image Upscalers, and AI Anonymizers, I think Icons8 has provided it all.

@visualpharm Amazing work, Ivan!

Why do we need more of these products?

@martinsanton From where I see it, to let the best ones win :)

@martinsanton from a consumer's perspective, to lower the costs and raise quality. From an entrepreneur's perspective, to build a more robust business model. We use Background Remover in two of our products so far, https://lunacyapp.com and https://icons8.com/vector-creator. With the industry's $0.10-0.20 per image, we can't make it free. Moreover, we must be careful turning it into a paid unlimited feature, watching for overuse. By creating our model, we can make it free or cheap. We can balance overuse by merely managing the queue. A customer needs lots of images processed — ok, we get it, but he has to retake each new image line. Another point is we need better quality that the industry could provide. We want to reach the quality standard of our internal background removal team that works for our photography.

@temaprint Glad you like it! ❤️

I checked and it works like magic. Thanks for all your efforts and especially keeping it free. I would be curious to know how you would monetize unless it is a hobby project for you
Luba Zee
Maker
@ishwarjha Thanks! We'll keep it free for as long as we can. For now, we monetize with a paid API option for those who need to remove backgrounds from thousands and millions of photos, just like we do ;)

@ishwarjha for now, it's a self-promotion. People spread the word, we get a stronger brand and a SEO boost. This way, we sell our other products, especially icons and illustrations. You're right, we do computing on GPUs which is expensive. In future, we'll have to either: - Rewrite it for CPU - Figure out some kind of freemium (smaller images OR several images for free, then for $0.20 like we did it for https://icons8.com/upscaler) - A combination of the previous two.

@davidmullis Thanks! ❤️

Truly impressive product. Keep working hard to make those blurry, complex images as perfect as the neat ones!

@dimitri_addmin Thank you very much! And if you need to make blurry images sharper, we've already made the Smart Upscaler for that, you're welcome to try it https://icons8.com/upscaler
Dimitri Marko
@luba_z That's also a cool product there! I think blurry wasn't the right word.. I tried with underwater images, or images with a background FULL of patterns. I think complex was the most correct word, but maybe my 2 examples can illustrate better! I'll be watching :)

Maker
@dimitri_addmin Oh, I get it! Such images are tricky ones, indeed. I'll challenge our ML team with some examples :)
Szymon Adamiak
Okay, that's exactly what I needed. Great product!

@sadamiak Much appreciated!

@ashe_hecarim Thanks! I wonder how many hours of work it would save for you ;)
