Frequently asked about Background Remover

How accurate is the background removal?

Very good on portraits, products, and pets. Struggles with fine hair detail and translucent objects (glass, smoke). Best-in-class results on simple subjects with high contrast against the background.

What does it cost per image?

Free tier: 1 use. Basic (£7.99/mo): 30 uses/mo. Pro (£17.99/mo): effectively unlimited. The underlying GPU compute costs us ~$0.002 per inference; we don't pass that through.

Can it remove backgrounds in bulk?

Bulk processing is on the Power tier (3 seats + scripted batches). Pro tier handles one at a time via the API.

What file format do I get back?

PNG with a transparent alpha channel. Drop directly into Photoshop, Figma, Keynote, Canva, etc.

All included in your Apexkit plan. No extra cost.
