Remove backgrounds from product photos in bulk
When you sell online, background removal is a chore you repeat for every new product. Here is how to get through a whole catalog without paying per image or uploading your photos.
The short version
BG Remover removes backgrounds on your own computer. On Pro you can process a whole folder in one run, export transparent PNG or WebP (or a solid colour background), and nothing leaves your machine. It costs $7.99 a month or $99 once, and the free version lets you test it on your own photos first.
What sellers get out of it
No cost per image
You pay a flat monthly price or buy a Lifetime license once. A catalog refresh or a seasonal re-shoot costs the same as any other day.
A whole folder per run
On Pro there is no cap on batch size, so a few hundred product photos become one job rather than hundreds of clicks.
Output marketplaces accept
Export a transparent PNG or WebP, or put the product on a solid background colour for listings that ask for a white background.
Unreleased products stay private
Everything runs on your computer, so photos of products you have not announced are never sent to a third-party server.
A way to fix the odd one
Erase and restore tools let you tidy the edges by hand on the few images where the AI is not quite right.
A catalog workflow in four steps
- Put the product photos for one batch in a single folder.
- Add them to BG Remover and run the batch. It uses your GPU when a supported one is present and your CPU otherwise.
- Scroll through the results and fix awkward edges, such as hair, straps or glass, with the erase and restore tools.
- Export as transparent PNG or WebP, or with a solid background colour if the marketplace needs one.
Small habits that improve results
- Shoot against a plain, evenly lit surface. The cleaner the starting photo, the cleaner the cut-out.
- Keep the camera angle and lighting the same across a product line so every image behaves alike.
- Try a small batch of 5 to 10 first. If it looks right, run the rest.
- Keep your originals and save cut-outs to a separate folder, so you can re-run with different settings.
See real examples in the before and after gallery, or follow the setup guide. For the general case, read the batch background remover guide.
Common questions
What is the best way to remove backgrounds from lots of product photos?
Use a tool that processes whole folders locally, so there is no upload time and no per-image fee. BG Remover does this on Windows, Linux and macOS (beta). Pro has no batch limit, and the free version handles up to 5 images per batch.
Can I use the results on Amazon, Etsy or Shopify?
Yes. BG Remover exports a transparent PNG or WebP, or an image on a solid background colour, and you can upload either to any store. Marketplaces change their image rules, so check the current requirements for the one you sell on.
How many product images can I process at once?
The free version handles up to 5 images per batch. With Pro or Lifetime there is no limit, so you can run an entire catalog.
Do I need a powerful computer?
Any reasonably recent Windows, Linux or macOS (beta) machine works. A supported GPU speeds up large batches considerably, and without one the app falls back to the CPU.
Are my product photos uploaded to a server?
No. Processing happens on your computer. The internet is used only to activate your license key.
