In their own words
Erase.bg
Erase.bg uses AI to remove backgrounds from images, with tools to replace backgrounds, add colors or patterns, and resize images by aspect ratio. It accepts PNG, JPEG, JPG, WEBP, and HEIC images up to 10,000 × 10,000 pixels, along with MP4, MOV, and WEBM videos up to 30 seconds. Downloads include PNG and JPG formats. Bulk processing can handle multiple images, and developers can use API examples for React, JavaScript, Python, Node.js, Kotlin, Golang, C#, and PHP. Each background removal uses one credit. The free Starter Plan includes three credits and three downloads for personal use; new API users receive three free credits that reset daily. One-time credit packs are listed at $6, paid once for 10 credits, $12, paid once for 100 credits, and $50, paid once for 1,000 credits. Those packs are non-refundable, with credits valid for one year. Erase.bg is available on the web and Android, with API access. Its privacy policy says images are anonymously stored and information may be processed in other countries.
