How does the consumption work? #
The background removal tool is available on all plans, including one-time, Unlimited, and Unlimited AI, at no extra cost. As a general rule, 1 credit = 1 optimized image.
For example, optimizing an image (with or without background removal) uses 1 credit. Optimizing an image and generating WebP or AVIF versions uses 3 credits.
How does it work? #
Our model processes each image through advanced segmentation, isolating the subject and removing the background with precision. The result = crisp edges, clean extractions, and a professional finish that’s ready for any use case.
