We\u2019ve got something cool to share. ShortPixel\u2019s Background remover<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>just leveled up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new version is powered by an upgraded model<\/strong> that delivers cleaner, sharper results with much better precision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you\u2019re prepping product photos for your WooCommerce store, portraits, or creative assets, you\u2019ll notice smoother edges, smarter subject detection, and faster processing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In short, it just works better. Here’s an example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Available on every plan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our improved background removal tool is now available on all pricing tiers, including one-time packages and our Unlimited plans, at no extra cost<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a general rule, 1 credit equals 1 optimized image<\/a>. For example, optimizing an image (with or without background removal) costs 1 credit, while optimizing an image with WebP or AVIF generation costs 3 credits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And yes, it\u2019s coming to SPIO<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re also integrating this upgraded background removal into ShortPixel Image Optimizer (SPIO)<\/a><\/strong> soon, so you\u2019ll be able to remove backgrounds right inside WordPress. No extra tools needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Give it a try!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
