Now, let’s explore how remove.bg can transform your product photography workflow.

What is remove.bg?

remove.bg is an AI-powered image editing solution that transforms tedious manual background removal into a quick, automated process. While traditional editing might take several minutes per image, AI technology delivers exceptional quality in seconds, making it possible to process thousands of product photos efficiently. 

As part of Canva, remove.bg is committed to making professional image editing accessible to everyone. Their focus on quality and speed has made them the trusted choice for over 240 leading brands, including Bosch, Thriftify, Vestiaire Collective, The Next Closet, and more. 

Here’s a look at the tools in the remove.bg ecosystem:

Desktop App

The remove.bg desktop app for Windows, Mac, and Linux lets you process thousands of images in bulk.

Simply drag and drop your files, customize your settings once (like background color and image size), and let the app handle everything automatically. It’s perfect for e-commerce managers who need to process large product catalogs quickly while maintaining consistent quality across all images.

Shopify Plugin

The Shopify plugin enables you to streamline your e-commerce workflow by removing backgrounds from product images as you upload them to your online store. 

No more switching between tools or manual editing. Just upload your product photos, and they’ll instantly appear with clean, professional white backgrounds (or any other color or design you prefer) that boost customer trust and conversion rates.

API Integration (White Label)

Want to integrate remove.bg directly into your existing workflow? The remove.bg API lets you remove backgrounds automatically within your own tools and systems. 

Whether you’re running a marketplace or managing a large e-commerce store, you can process thousands of images without ever leaving your current software setup. Simply add remove.bg‘s capability to your existing tools, and you’re ready to go.
