In their own words
Cutout.Pro
Cutout.Pro removes image backgrounds and can replace them with other backgrounds. It accepts JPG, PNG, WEBP and BMP files up to 15 MB, with output up to 4096 × 4096 pixels in PNG or JPG. An Erase & Restore brush lets users refine missed background areas or clipped foreground details. Batch processing is available; the Windows and Mac desktop app can process folders. Other access includes Android, iOS, Linux, web and API. Each upload receives a low-resolution preview without a watermark, account or credits, while an HD image download uses one credit. New accounts receive five credits without a credit card. The free plan is available, and the listed subscription with 80 credits per month costs $5 a month. Other subscription and pay-as-you-go credit packages are listed. Main-platform credit purchases have a 14-day refund guarantee, but Shopify App credit purchases are non-refundable. Cutout.Pro was founded in 2018 and is based in Kowloon, Hong Kong.
Removal.AI
Removal.AI removes image backgrounds and can produce white, custom, or transparent backgrounds in three seconds or less. The web editor can replace backgrounds, add text and effects, and let users manually edit the foreground with a background eraser. Bulk Upload accepts up to 100 images per upload and uses half the credits per image; the service also describes processing over 1,000 images in one upload. A desktop app for macOS and Windows supports whole-folder processing, background colors, pause and resume, ecommerce optimization, and automatic cropping. The API takes direct uploads or image URLs and returns a file URL or Base64 output, with resolutions up to 25 megapixels. New API users receive 10 free preview credits per month by default, and a Figma plugin is available. The Free plan costs nothing and is limited to 0.25 megapixels and personal use. Paid options include credit packs billed once and monthly plans; the three-credit lifetime option is listed at $1.89 a month, billed once. JPG or PNG uploads can be up to 12 MB, and images above 36 megapixels are resized.
