Photoroom
What it is
App and web editor for product photos. Removes backgrounds, adds shadows or studio scenes, and can batch-edit many listings. Free plan for simple cutouts; paid plans from $7.50 a month billed yearly.
Our take
Default for sellers who live in product photos. Core background removal sits on paid plans without burning AI credits, but export and batch caps are the bill that bites.
Also look at Pixelcut, Canva AI and remove.bg.
