BG0 vs Photoroom

BG0 is a free web tool that removes image backgrounds in the browser and downloads transparent PNG files. Image bytes remain in the browser rather than being uploaded for processing. The remover accepts PNG, JPG, WebP, HEIC, and HEIF images up to 40 MB. It runs BiRefNet and can fall back to BiRefNet-lite when the selected model cannot run. First use requires an internet connection to download and prepare the model, after which the browser may cache it. There is no account, credit system, subscription, or stated usage limit. Developers can use the @bg0/browser library to add on-device removal to web apps without a server or API key; it runs through WebGPU or WebAssembly. The documented iOS path uses a single-threaded WebAssembly worker and BiRefNet-lite, with output limited to 1280 pixels on the longest edge. No manual touch-up editor is included. BG0 uses PostHog for anonymous analytics.

Photoroom is a freemium photo editor from a maker founded in 2019 and headquartered in Paris, France. It runs on the web, iOS, and Android, with batch editing, layers, masking tools, cloud sync, and AI retouching. A free plan is available. The Pro plan includes 8,000 AI credits and 1,000 exports per month for up to 50 seats. Max provides 25,000 AI credits and 3,000 exports monthly, also for up to 50 seats. Ultra provides 75,000 AI credits and 10,000 exports monthly with the same seat limit. Enterprise uses custom credits and includes adjustable AI Shadows, visual QA tools, SLA and SSO, plus dedicated onboarding and support. The listed plans do not include prices. These plans set different monthly allowances for AI processing and exports, while the editing features support both batch workflows and individual image adjustments. Cloud sync extends the workflow across supported platforms, and masking and layers provide control over image composition.
