Review remove.bg?

Reviewers largely praise remove.bg for being fast, simple, and effective at everyday background removal, often saving far more time than manual editing and working especially well for quick design, school, web, and presentation tasks. Many say the cutouts are accurate, even on tricky edges like hair, though some report softer edges, missed details, or recent glitches and UI regressions. The sharpest criticism is not core removal quality but the credit system: users repeatedly call pricing, HD download limits, login friction, and lost credits after downgrading or canceling unfair or misleading.

We've been using Remove.bg for over a year now, and I have to say that the quality of their background removal is perfect. However, be very cautious about their pricing model and the credit system. Our business peaks significantly during November and December due to the holiday season, requiring us to upgrade to higher plans temporarily. Unfortunately, when downgrading back to lower plans, you lose some of the unused credits you've purchased. You only discover this policy when requesting a downgrade, after which you realize credits rollover is limited to just five months—a fact buried deep in the FAQ. So I strongly recommend carefully reviewing their terms to avoid any unpleasant surprises.

Hi there! You can roll over up to 5x your monthly credit limit. For example, if you downgraded to the 200 credit a month plan, then you would be able to roll over 1,000 credits into your next month. We provide this information about roll over credits on our Pricing page, during checkout, and in our FAQ. Please feel free to contact us at "team [at] remove.bg" if you have any other concerns about your credits or subscription!

@josh_flores2 The credit rollover limit is such a pain for seasonal businesses! I faced a similar issue which is why I decided to build a 'Utility First' alternative called WebAITool dot net It's 100% free and doesn't use a credit system or sign-ups at all. Might be a stress-free option for your off-peak months!"

I have an image of a cat that was drawn in charcoal on paper that I have wanted to remove the background from so that I can use it on a tee shirt - just the cat - but I could NOT remove the background. Adobe Photoshop's "Remove background" function failled because it removed a huge chunk of the actual image and there was no way I wanted to try to compensate for that. Remove.bg results were literally perfect and EXACTLY what I was hoping for and it kept the same resolution of the original 300 DPI. Here's a tip for those out there who may find that they have an image they want to keep at the highest quality as possible but you can't seem to get the size down to the 50 MB or less limit. My original image was 22 x 24 inches at 360 DPI - it was scanned directly from the original. The actual file at that size was 195 MB. What I did was the following: 1. Reduced the DPI to 300 - plenty for almost any high quality output. 2. Then I cropped the image down to 15 x 15 inches 3. Saved the TIFF file that I had the original in as a PNG which yielded a 37.5 MB PNG and then uploaded it. Specifying that I wanted full size and no drop shadow. Voila - perfecto! Remove.bg - Made my Day!

The fact that credits are removed when the subscription is stopped is ridiculous. A subscription can be for uses (credits = downloads) or for access (credits = access time). Remove.bg makes you pay for use, and then treats the subscription like if you payed for access. If I pay for a number of credits, it does not matter when i use them. If I pay for access, it would make sense that I lose the access when I stop the subscription, but this is NOT the case. I will move to buying the credits on demand. It only puts the hassle on my having to keep track of how many left I have. For Remove.bg, this only makes their business model flawed, as they push customers outside the subcription model that actually benefits them in running their business. There is literally no benefit on having a subscription.

The service works ok, I guess? But so many other platforms (like Canva) now have background removal built in that it hardly seems worth it. Plus you have to keep logging in each time which is a pain. Also - trying to cancel is maddening until you realize the 'Cancel Subscription' font is size 6, medium grey, and barely visible unless you zoom in. Pretty scaly behavior whenever a company makes it deliberately hard for someone intent on canceling to be able to cancel.

Hey there! You will need to log in to remove.bg in order to use your purchased credits, but you shouldn't be getting logged out. Additionally, our "Cancel Subscription" link is directly under the "Change Subscription" button on the main page of your user dashboard. Could you reach out to us at "team [at] remove.bg"? We can troubleshoot any login or cancellation issues you face!

@Miguel BravoExactly! Paying for 'access' when you're actually paying for 'usage' feels fundamentally broken. I’m currently launching WebAITool on PH today to prove that high-quality AI tools (like BG removal) can exist without these restrictive models. Would love to know if it meets your quality standards!"

Terrible Credit Downgrade Policy Downgrading credits is a nightmare! I had 6000 extra credits and wanted to reduce my monthly billing to around 1000 by pausing or slowing it down. But with the new system, they also limit how many credits you can carry over—so instead of keeping my unused credits, I was only allowed to take over 200 credits to the lower subscription. Feels like a blatant cash grab. Extremely frustrating and unfair!

@Code Master, losing 6,000 credits feels like a literal robbery. 😱 Usage-based billing shouldn't have an expiration date. Since you're looking for a more fair way, I'd love for you to try WebAITool dot net It's 100% free and I built it to counter these exact credit-trap models. No limits, no catch

remove bg is by far the best background removal tool currently available, however their turn towards needing to use ''credits'' to get the full quality of your image is sickening to say the least. if i put in a 1000x1000px image, it will (at most) give me 300x00px. an absolutely abysmal quality drop off that makes paying for the full quality of the image the only viable alternative to getting a useless husk of what it was

Hey there! We do offer free downloads of images at the preview size, which is an image up to 625 x 400 pixels. While you do need a credit to download an image of a larger size, you can always sign up for an account for one free credit! And if you need more credits after that, you can find our pricing for credits here: remove.bg/pricing

@gato tanks The quality drop on free previews is a huge bottleneck. If you're looking for full-res output without the credit headache, check out WebAITool dot net. I built it specifically to keep tools like this accessible for free. It’s my first launch today—would love your honest feedback on the HD quality!"

Сносно удаляет фон, особенно удобен пакетный режим. Но! Сильно ухудшает качество исходящих файлов по сравнению с входящими. Отсутствуют настройки чувствительности для удаления фона и качества изображений.

Hi there! We're glad to hear that you are enjoying the bulk removal features! You mentioned quality issues, that your output images are at a lower quality than your input images. We do offer two quality options, the Preview size and the Full-Resolution size. The Preview size is limited to 0.25 megapixels, which may be causing that issue. Feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions!

@Rano_9, the resolution drop in free versions is usually where they force you to pay. I'm trying to change that with my first launch, WebAITool. We offer high-quality output for free because I believe basic AI utilities should be accessible to everyone. Check it out and let me know if the quality holds up for your batch edits!

I love it most because it does what it advertises to do. Its user friendly for an old duck and its affordable. I am using it to make special photographs of AND for my family/ To date I have spent a lot of my limited funds, trying to find a program that I did not need to be a graphics boffin to use. Products as easy as yours should advertise a "Granny Use" star rating so we can identify you in the gazillion options on the Internet.

been using it for years. it's free, it's efficient, it works well, it's easy to fix mistakes, and the developers really seem to care about making it a good product rather than making money off of it. no ads, no hidden feens, literally just a good product that's easy to use. to the devs, thank you so much. you have made my life so much easier with school and creative projects. y'all deserve all the best.
