AI Background Remover: Transparent, White or Any Colour
To remove a background, upload a photo to Pickshot's AI background remover, choose Transparent, White or Pick a colour, and press Remove background: the subject stays and everything behind it is cut away. The standard engine costs 1 credit per image, and the precise engine, built for hair and fur edges, costs 9. Use it for product shots, profile pictures and stickers, right in your browser.

What is an AI background remover?
An AI background remover finds the main subject of a photo (a person, a product, a pet) and separates it from everything behind it, a job that used to mean tracing the outline by hand with a pen tool. In Pickshot it is the Remove background tool in the image editor: you choose what the background becomes (transparent, white or a colour of your choice) and which engine to use, and the result is saved as a new version you can compare with the original.
