Backdrop vs PhotoScissors

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.

PhotoScissors removes photo backgrounds so people or objects can be isolated, placed on replacement backgrounds, or turned into cutouts. Its online tool automatically processes uploaded images, and manual controls let users mark areas to keep or remove. The site describes tools for semi-transparent subjects such as hair and for retaining textures on transparent objects. Online uploads accept JPG, PNG, or WebP files up to 10 MB and 4.2 megapixels; free downloads are standard definition. Windows and Mac desktop versions add bulk processing and offline use, with no image-size or file-size limits listed on the upload page. The API can bring background removal into an app or website and accepts JPG or PNG images with output resolution up to 4 megapixels. Windows, Mac, and iOS versions are offered; desktop requirements are Windows 8 or later and Mac OS 10.14 or later. Credit plans cost $4.99 a month for 10 images, $9.99 a month for 50, or $19.99 a month for 200. Desktop licenses cover one year and require internet activation.
