Overview
Background Removal uses our API and BiRefNet to produce **true transparent PNGs** (RGBA alpha). Unlike resize or compress, images are uploaded for server processing.
Before you start
- •A **guest session** starts automatically, or sign in for a registered account
- •Check your **plan quota** on the tool page (daily and monthly limits)
Quotas
- •**Per job:** 5 images (Free) · 20 (Premium)
- •**Per day:** 10 removals (Free) · 100 (Premium)
- •**Per month:** 30 removals (Free) · 1000 (Premium)

Step-by-step
- Open Background Removal.
- Wait for the session to show **ready** (guest or logged-in).
- Add images or **one ZIP** using the drop zone (thumbnails, remove, and add-more work the same as other tools).
- Review the file list — only supported raster types (.png, .jpg, .webp, .bmp) are used.
- Click **Remove backgrounds & download ZIP**.
- The page uploads your files, then **polls job status** while BiRefNet runs (this can take minutes per image on CPU).
- When complete, click **Download ZIP** for transparent PNGs.
Tips
- •Use smaller batches if jobs time out — start with 5 images to test quality
