What it is

Media.io Background Remover is a web tool for removing or changing backgrounds in images of people, products, animals, and objects. After upload, its AI analyzes the image and removes the background; the result can be downloaded as a transparent PNG. The product describes handling detailed edges such as hair, fur, flames, and transparent or semi-transparent objects. Users can replace the background with a solid color, an image from Media.io’s library, or a custom photo. Ecommerce templates and aspect-ratio presets are offered for Amazon, eBay, and Shopify, alongside ID photo choices and official size presets for passports, visas, and ID photos in multiple countries. Batch processing and commercial use are listed. GIF images are not supported; the page suggests converting a still image to JPG or PNG first. Uploaded files and generated content are automatically deleted from Media.io servers within seven days, and files are not backed up. The listed starting price is 11.99 /mo. Media.io was founded in 2003 and is headquartered in Shenzhen, China.
