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.

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.
