In their own words
Backdrop
Backdrop is a web tool that removes backgrounds from product photos for marketplace listings. It is aimed at online sellers, including apparel and other product catalogs, and lists Amazon FBA, eBay, Shopify, WooCommerce, and Poshmark as seller destinations. JPG, PNG, and WEBP files can be uploaded in batches of up to 500 images. The site says processing takes about two seconds per image. Finished images can be downloaded together as a ZIP while retaining original filenames. The free plan provides 25 images per month, white and transparent backgrounds, and ZIP downloads without requiring a credit card. Paid plans add custom-color backgrounds and 30-day job history. Starter costs $19 a month for 1,000 images; Pro costs $39 a month for 5,000 with priority processing; Max costs $79 a month for 50,000 with priority processing and dedicated support.
