Migration paths
Background remover FAQs
Is there a free alternative to remove.bg?
Yes. Guests can process three images a day and download a low-resolution PNG. Signed-in users can try five images in total that day; the first full-size download after signup is free once.
Can I remove backgrounds in batch?
Yes. Paid users can submit up to 20 images, then download completed PNGs together as a ZIP. Each new image uses 1 credit, including processing and full-size download.
Can developers migrate from the remove.bg API?
The migration guide maps supported inputs and parameters. This is not a drop-in replacement, but the current Cloudflare deployment processes live API requests. Create a new key and test your images before switching traffic.
Can I download transparent PNG files?
Yes. Free images have a low-resolution transparent PNG download. A full-size PNG uses the one-time signup gift or 1 credit per new image; downloading that same image again does not cost another credit.
Is RemoveBG affiliated with remove.bg?
No. RemoveBG is an independent service and is not affiliated with remove.bg, Canva, or Leonardo.Ai. Accounts, credits and API keys do not transfer.
Can I use RemoveBG instead of remove.bg?
You can test the web editor and paid batch workflow with your own images. Compare export size, edges, credits and API parameters before moving an established workflow.
