Artguru Background Remover vs EraseBG

Artguru Background Remover removes the background from an image and produces a transparent PNG. It identifies the main subject and accepts JPG, PNG, and WEBP uploads. After removal, users can choose a solid color or upload a custom image as the replacement background. The product says its machine-learning tool handles detailed edges such as hair wisps and animal fur. The uploader allows up to 200 images, while batch background removal is listed as a Pro feature. The service is available on Android, iOS, and the web, with stated uses including e-commerce product photos, social media graphics, and presentation portraits. Background removal costs one credit per image, listed as $0.01 per image. Credits expire at the end of the subscription cycle and do not roll over. The privacy policy says uploaded inputs may be used to improve AI models, and that training use cannot be reversed once incorporated.

EraseBG removes image backgrounds in a browser on the user’s device, with no usage limits listed for its free plan. It accepts JPG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC images, including batches, and provides erase and restore brushes, undo and redo, background choices, and before-and-after comparison. Optional 2× and 4× upscaling runs on the device. Exports are full-resolution PNG, WebP, or JPG, and batches can be downloaded as a ZIP. Processing uses the device’s GPU or CPU; the browser uses GPU processing automatically when WebGPU is supported. The maker says images remain in tab memory and are not collected, stored, or transmitted. The model can be cached for later offline visits. The source is MIT licensed and can be copied to a web server for self-hosting. It is available on web, iOS, Android, and as self-hosted software. Safari exports above about 16 megapixels are scaled to that limit, and iOS may reduce large photos during processing before full-resolution export. There is no API.
